* The Database Group at the University of Edinburgh, led by Peter
Buneman, Wenfei Fan and Leonid Libkin, is recruiting
post-doctoral researchers in connection with a recently-funded
grant in data exchange and data integration, an established
grant researching XML/database security, and the UK Digital
Curation Centre, which also sponsors new areas of database
research. While the positions are primarily open to database
researchers with a promising publication record, all applicants
with a strong background in computer science will be
considered. Skills in theory, algorithms and systems building
are particularly valuable.
* Potential research topics include Data exchange and
integration, Logic and automata in databases, Security in XML
and databases, Data provenance, Expressive power and complexity
of query languages, Stream database systems, Publishing and
transformations, Scientific databases. There are ample travel
and equipment funds to support this research.
E.W. BETH DISSERTATION PRIZE: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Since 2002, FoLLI (the European Association for Logic, Language, and
Information, www.folli.org) awards the E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize to
outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and
Information.
* Submissions are invited for 2005. The prize will be awarded
to the best dissertation which resulted in a Ph.D. in the year 2005. The
dissertations will be judged on technical depth and strength,
originality, and impact made in at least two of the three fields of
Logic, Language, and Computation.
* Who qualifies:
Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree
in the areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st,
2005 and December 31st, 2005. There is no restriction on the nationality
of the candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a
careful consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations
written in English. Dissertations produced in 2005 but not written in
English or not translated will be allowed for submission, after
translation, also with the call next year (for 2006).
* The prize consists of

JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS: JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL CRYPTOLOGY
Starting in 2007 with 4 issues/year, Walter de Gruyter will
publish a new high-quality journal devoted to interactions
between Cryptology and Mathematics: Journal of Mathematical Cryptology
* Aims and Scope:
The Journal of Mathematical Cryptology (JMC) is a forum for
original research articles in the area of mathematical
cryptology. As such, work in the theory of cryptology and
articles linking mathematics with cryptology are welcome.
Cryptologically significant submissions from all areas of
mathematics are equally welcome, including but not limited
to, algebra, algebraic geometry, coding theory,
combinatorics, number theory, probability and stochastic
processes. In particular, the scope includes mathematical
results of algorithmic or computational nature that are of
interest to cryptology. While JMC does not cover

Satisfiability Testing (Aug 12-15)
* The six major conferences will be accompanied by 41 workshops, held on
Aug. 10-11, 15-16, and 21-22.
* The FLoC'06 program includes a keynote session to commemorate the Goedel
Centenary, with John Dawson and Dana Scott as speakers, a keynote talk

* Seattle, the Emerald city, sits on the shores of Puget Sound surrounded
by mountains to the east and west. Lovely views of blue waters and snow
capped peaks seem to appear everywhere - around the next bend in the
road or between the buildings downtown. Seattle is the gateway to the
Pacific Northwest, a premier tourist attraction.
In Seattle, Mt. Rainier enchants visitors; in Vancouver, British
Columbia, the Coast Range juts out over downtown; and in Portland, 5,000
acres of forestland north of the city center harbor deer, elk, and the
odd bear and cougar.
* Online registration for FLoC is now open at:
http://www.easychair.org/FLoC-06/
* The rates agreed upon between FLoC and the Seattle Sheraton are
very reasonable rates for a first-class hotel in downtown
Seattle during the summer vacation season. To reduce conference
costs and keep registration fees reasonable, FLoC is
contractually obligated to meet a commitment for a certain
number of FloC attendees staying in the conference hotel. FLoC
attendees are strongly encouraged to use the Seattle Sheraton for
conference accommodation. Deadline for preferred hotel rate is
July 21, 2006.

CALCO 2007 - Call for Papers
2nd Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science
August 20-24, 2007, Bergen, Norway
http://www.ii.uib.no/calco07/
* Important dates:
Abstract submission : January 28, 2007
Technical paper submission: February 7, 2007
Author notification: March 28, 2007
* CALCO brings together researchers and practitioners to exchange new
results related to foundational aspects and both traditional and
emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer science.
This is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces
and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods
in Computer Science), and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development
Techniques). The first CALCO conference took place 2005 in Swansea,
Wales (http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/calco/index.php), and was a huge success.
The second event will take place 2007 in Bergen, Norway. Its aim is to
be at least as successful.
* Topics of Interest:
We invite submissions of technical papers that report results of
