CALL for PARTICIPATION
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
EWSCS is a series of regional-scope international winter schools held annually in Estonia. EWSCS used to be organized by the Institute of Cybernetics, a research institute of Tallinn University of Technology. Since 2017 it is organized by the Department of Software Science.
The main objective of EWSCS is to expose Estonian, Baltic, and Nordic graduate students in computer science (but also interested students from elsewhere) to frontline research topics usually not covered within the regular curricula. The working language of the schools is English.
EWSCS'17 is the twenty second event of the series.
PROGRAMME
The schools' scientific programme consists of short courses by renowned specialists and a student session.

Registrants are invited to propose short talks (20 min) on topics of theoretical computer science, broadly understood. The selection will be based on abstracts of 150-400 words (see the instruction).
The social programme consists of an excursion and a conference dinner.
