Description
Book SynopsisThis book constitutes the proceedings of the 49th International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2024, held in Cochem, Germany, in February 2024.
The 33 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length.
They focus on original research and challenges in foundations of computer science including algorithms, AI-based methods, computational complexity, and formal models.
