BCTCS 2011
27th British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science
18-21 April 2011
The 27th British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer
Science is hosted by the School of
Computer Science, University of
Birmingham.
The purpose of BCTCS is to provide a forum in which researchers in theoretical computer science can meet, present research findings, and discuss developments in the field. It also aims to provide an environment in which PhD students can gain experience in presenting their work, and benefit from contact with established researchers.
