Call for Papers

Original papers are solicited for the conference. A full paper (up to 15 pages) should be submitted by March 28, 2021.  Instead or, instead, an extended abstract (5-7 pages) can be submitted by April 5 10, 2021. Please, bear in mind that it is more difficult for the Program Committee to decide about your work having just an abstract in hand. All contributions will be reviewed by the international Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 14, 2021. We will require camera-ready full papers by June 4, 2021.

In order to submit a paper or just indicate your interest in the PaCT-2021, please register at the site of the conference https://pact.sscc.ru and follow the instructions which you will find there. If you face any difficulties using this site, please contact the Secretary (pact2021@ssd.sscc.ru).

The first page should include (but not be limited to) the following information: a title, authors' full names, affiliation, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses. To gain the better understanding of your abstract, we also request to include the following information: short review of related papers, formulation of the problem, objectives, description of results, main ideas, and list of references.

The organizers expect that the authors of selected papers will come to Kaliningrad and present their work at the Conference. If the authors are not able to come because of  COVID-related measures, the paper can be presented with videoconferencing software. 

Proposals for workshops and 1/2 and full day tutorials will be considered.
