This conference is the 13th in a series. The organizers aimed to bring together PhD
students
working on any field of computer science and its applications to help them publishing
one of
their first papers, and provide an opportunity to hold a scientific talk. As far as
we know, this
is one of the few such conferences. The aims of the scientific meeting were determined
on the
council meeting of the Hungarian PhD Schools in Informatics: it should
• provide a forum for PhD students in computer science to discuss their ideas and
research
results;
• give a possibility to have constructive criticism before they present the results
at profes-
sional conferences;
• promote the publication of their results in the form of fully refereed journal articles;
and
finally,
• promote hopefully fruitful research collaboration among the participants.
The papers emerging from the presented talks will be invited to be considered for
full paper
publication the Acta Cybernetica journal.
