         9th Estonian Winter School in Computer Science
                            EWSCS'04
           Palmse, Estonia, 29 February-5 March 2004

               www.cs.ioc.ee/yik/schools/win2004


Background and objectives

EWSCS is a series of regional-scope international winter schools held
annually in Estonia. EWSCS are organized by CIDEC, a joint initiative
of Institute of Cybernetics (Tallinn), Tallinn Technical University
and University of Tartu for the advancement of higher education in
computer science and information technology in Estonia. EWSCS'04 is the =

ninth event of the series.

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 subject of the schools is general
computer science, with a bias towards theory, this comprising both
algorithms, complexity and models of computation, and semantics, logic
and programming theory. The working language of the schools is
English.


Programme

The schools' scientific programme consists of short courses by
renowned specialists and a student session. The course list for
EWSCS'04 is the following:

      Prof. Sergei Artemov (City University of New York, USA):
      Proof Polynomials

      Prof. Rusins Freivalds (University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia):
      Unreasonable Effectiveness of Classical Mathematics =

      in Computer Science

      Prof. Achim Jung (University of Birmingham, UK):
      Stone Duality and Program Logics

      Prof. Moni Naor (Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel):
      Cryptography and Privacy-Preserving Operations

      Prof. Madhu Sudan (MIT / Radcliffe Institute, Cambridge, MA, USA):
      Algorithmic Introduction to Coding Theory

The purpose of the student session is to give students an opportunity
to present their work (typically, thesis work) and get
feedback. Registrants are invited to propose short talks (20 min) or
posters. The selection will be based on abstracts of 150-400 words.

The social programme consists of an excursion and a conference dinner.


Venue

Palmse is a small settlement 80 kms to the east from Tallinn in the
county of L=E4=E4ne-Viru. It is renowned for a large manor that used

Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are direct flights to
Tallinn from London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin,
