Subconference on

		     THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE

			      (IS03-TCS)

	Cankarjev Dom - Conference Centre, Ljubljana, SLOVENIA

			   October 16, 2003

[The conference will take place on this day during the multiconference
INFORMATION SOCIETY  2003 (Oct.  13-17, 2003). There  is a  very small
possibility of  a date change to  another date in  this time interval,
therefore, the status of the date is "almost certain".]

Theoretical  Computer  Science   represents  the  underpinning  of  IT
technology.   Much  of   IT's  infrastructure,   compiler  technology,
operating systems, cryptography (to  name a few), would be unthinkable
or stunted, but for the corresponding fundamental results in this area
of research. The purpose of this conference is to present some aspects
of the  present state of the  field. Invited are  contributions in the
following (or allied) fields:

   * Algorithms and Complexity
   * Formal Languages and Automata
   * Theory of Programming Languages
   * Discrete Mathematics
   * Symbolic Computation
   * Etc.
