Organized by

CSP-SIG-Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science (SIG-MACS) and 

Logic and Computability Lab, DCS - UPDiliman

Workshop on Models, Algorithms, Computability and Discrete Structures  (WMACS) is part of the initiative of the CSP – Special Interest Group on Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science (SIG-MACS) to promote Models of Computations, Algorithmics, Computation Theory and Discrete Structures in the country.  This is one of the pre-conference Workshop of PCSC 2026 at Immaculate Concepcion University at Davao  City.

WMACS is consist of lectures on fundamental areas of computer science which are mathematical in character. The lectures will be synoptic and tutorial in nature and will cover topics from courses that are sometimes offered as upper division undergraduate courses and some introductions to emerging techniques and computing models in computer science.

WMACS provides a venue for teachers, researchers and graduate students of Computer Science, Computing, and Mathematics to share, upgrade knowledge, and foster active collaborative research on areas of Computer Science which are mathematical or theoretical in character. In this edition, we have the following:

Tutorials (tentative):

Models, Computability and Complexity

Henry Adorna (UP Diliman)

Spiking Neural P Systems: Models and Tool for NP Hard Problems

Francis Cabarle (UP DIliman)

Selected 15-minute informal (short paper) presentation or discussions on some research done and/or research-in-progress on the areas of covered by the workshop (please see list of topics below) may  be accommodated after the tutorial sessions. 

Topics of Interest (but not limited to) : Computability, Automata Theory and Formal Languages, Complexity Theory, Theory of Algorithms, Parallel Algorithms, Numerical Analysis, Combinatorial Optimization, Network Theory, Logic and Logic Programming, Theory of Programming Languages, Coding Theory, Cryptography and Computer Security, Discrete Mathematic for Computer Science, Computational Mathematics, New Challenges (BioInformatics, Heuristics, P Systems, Quantum Computation etc.).
