17th International Computer Science Symposium in Russia

CSR 2022


Engineering & Computer Science (General)



CSR is an annual international conference held in Russia and designed to cover a broad range of topics in Theoretical Computer Science. The list of previous CSR conferences can be found at

SUBMISSIONS
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper of at most
12 pages in English, not including references, in the LNCS format (LaTeX, as pdf;
final version with source); instructions are here:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Proofs and other material omitted due to space constraints are to be put into
a clearly marked appendix to be read at discretion of the referees. Papers
must present original (and not previously published) research. Simultaneous
submission to journals or to other conferences with published proceedings is
not allowed. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in Springer's
LNCS series.
Submissions by PC members will be allowed but will be held to a higher standard
than non-PC submissions.
Submission server: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csr2022
Prior and Simultaneous Submissions: The conference will follow SIGACT's policy on prior publication and simultaneous submissions. Work that has been previously published or scheduled for publication in another conference proceedings or journal should not be submitted. The only exception to this policy are prior or simultaneous publications appearing in the Science and Nature journals. SIGACT policy does not allow simultaneous submissions of the same (or essentially the same) material to another conference with published proceedings.
BEST PAPER AWARDS
There will be awards for the best paper and for the best student paper sponsored by Springer.
FORMAT
We are carefully watching the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic. We are hoping to have the conference in person, but it will be possible to participate in the event online for those who are unable to attend due to travel restrictions or other circumstances. If the situation in Russia does not allow us to organize the conference in person, our plan is to hold the event online at the scheduled dates rather than postponing it.
