====================================================================================


The Institute of Cryptography and Security and the Institute of Theoretical Informatics
of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) announce COMPUTING 2011, a symposium devoted
to the 75th anniversary of two pioneering works on the theory of computation:
“On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem” by Alan Turing
and “An Unsolvable Problem of Elementary Number Theory” by Alonzo Church.

The symposium will review the work of Church and Turing and its influence on contemporary
Theoretical Computer Science. Talks at the symposium are intended to cover--among others--
topics like

   * Different Models of Computing (including, e.g., Parallel, Quantum, and
     Molecular/DNA Computing),
   * Complexity (including Computational and Parameterized Complexity),
   * Decidability of various Logical and Computational Systems,
   * Termination Analysis,
   * Computational Geometry.

The symposium will consist of invited talks given by both established and junior
scientists. 

Keynote Speakers
----------------

    * Henk Barendregt, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands 
    * Christof Teuscher, Portland State University, USA 
    * Wolfgang Thomas, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
