CSEDays. Theory 2014: Computer Science Days in Ekaterinburg
This is a summer school for advanced graduate and PhD students in
mathematics,
computer science and software ingeneering, as well as young researchers and
developers from industry. The main objective of the CSEdays is to expose
the students in computer science and related disciplines to the research
topics usually not covered within the regular university curricula.
The topic of the 2014's edition is "Strings, Languages, and Automata".
