<h3><b>ITCS 2014</b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<h3><b>Preliminary Call for Papers</b></h3>
</div>
<div>The <b>5th Innovations in Theoretical
Computer Science</b><b> (ITCS)</b> conference,
sponsored by the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sigact.org/" target="_blank">ACM
Special Interest Group on Algorithms and
Computation Theory (SIGACT)</a>, will be held
in Princeton, New Jersey, <b>January 12-14,
2014</b>, with a welcome reception on January
11.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ITCS (previously known as ICS) seeks to
promote research that carries a strong
conceptual message (e.g., introducing a new
concept or model, opening a new line of inquiry
within traditional or cross-interdisciplinary
areas, or introducing new techniques or new
applications of known techniques). ITCS welcomes
all submissions, whether aligned with current
theory of computation research directions or
deviating from them.</div>
