The MFCS conference series on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science is a high-quality venue for original research in all branches of Theoretical Computer Science. MFCS is among the conferences with the longest history in the field — the first conference in the series was held already in 1972. Traditionally, the conference moved between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, while since 2013, the conference has traveled around Europe. In 2024, at its 49th edition, MFCS will be held as a physical event in Bratislava, Slovakia. TopicsThe program committee encourages submission of original research papers in all areas of theoretical computer science, including (but not limited to) the following:
