Mid-South Theory Day 2018

The 2nd Mid-South Theory Day (MSTD) will be hosted at the Department of Computer Science, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, on Mar 31st, 2018.

MSTD is a one day workshop that aims to bring together researchers from the mid-southern states, including (but not limited to) Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The workshop focus is on theoretical computer science research areas (broadly defined), but it is open to related research areas as well. The workshop will be held annually and its location will rotate each time. Researchers and their students are invited to present their work, and meet with other colleagues that share mutual interests from nearby regions.

The schedule for this year's theory day is given below.
