Dear Forum,

This is the announcement of the 33rd British Colloquium for Theoretical 
Computer Science, with the LMS Keynote Lecture in Discrete Mathematics
delivered by Professor László Babai (University of Chicago).

The Colloquium will be preceded by the Scottish Combinatorics Meeting,
also in St Andrews.

Best wishes
Alexander

Dear all,

The 33rd BCTCS will be hosted by the School of Computer Science, University of
St Andrews, from the 26th to the 28th of April 2017.

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.

The scope of the colloquium includes all aspects of theoretical computer
science, including algorithms, complexity, cryptography, formal methods, 
game theory, machine learning, languages, logics and quantum computation.
Both computer scientists and mathematicians are welcome to attend, as are
participants from outside of the UK.


This year the colloquium will feature the following invited speakers

LMS Keynote Lecture in Discrete Mathematics

PhD students are especially encouraged to offer a talk.

As an additional event, there will be a Scottish Combinatorics Meeting at 
the School of Mathematics in St Andrews on the 24th and 25th of April (see 
http://turnbull.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~nik/scm/). If you would like to take part 
in the meeting, please contact the organisers directly.

The organisers hope to welcome you to St Andrews in April.
