RAMiCS, [1] the International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science, is an academic conference organized every eighteen months by an international steering committee and held in different locations mainly in Europe, but also in other continents. Like most theoretical computer science conferences, its contributions are strongly peer-reviewed. Proceedings of the conferences appear in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and some of the stronger papers have been published in Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming.

Early history

RAMiCS, then still called RelMiCS, was first organized by Chris Brink and Gunther Schmidt on January 17–21, 1994 in Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany as International Seminar on Relational Methods in Computer Science. [2] The second RelMiCS was organized by the late Armando Haeberer [3] and held July 10–14, 1995 in Paraty near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [4] [5] The 3rd International Seminar on the Use of Relational Methods in Computer Science (RelMiCS 3) was January 6–10, 1997 in Albatros Hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia. [6] A 4th International Seminar on Relational Methods in Computer Science (RelMiCS 4) took place September 14–20, 1998 in Stefan Banach International Mathematical Centre, [7] Sept. 2004, Warsaw, Poland. [8] The 5th International Seminar on Relational Methods in Computer Science (RelMiCS 5) occurred January 9–14, 2000 at Valcartier near Québec, Canada. [9] From that point on, publication was arranged with Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

In mathematics, a binary relation associates elements of one set, called the domain, with elements of another set, called the codomain. A binary relation over sets X and Y is a new set of ordered pairs (x, y) consisting of elements x in X and y in Y. It is a generalization of the more widely understood idea of a mathematical function, but with fewer restrictions. It encodes the common concept of relation: an element x is related to an element y, if and only if the pair (x, y) belongs to the set of ordered pairs that defines the binary relation. A binary relation is the most studied special case n = 2 of an n-ary relation over sets X1, ..., Xn, which is a subset of the Cartesian product

In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language is a formal language that can be defined by a regular expression, in the strict sense in theoretical computer science.

In mathematics, a Kleene algebra is an idempotent semiring endowed with a closure operator. It generalizes the operations known from regular expressions.

Table (information) Arrangement of information or data, typically in rows and columns

A table is an arrangement of information or data, typically in rows and columns, or possibly in a more complex structure. Tables are widely used in communication, research, and data analysis. Tables appear in print media, handwritten notes, computer software, architectural ornamentation, traffic signs, and many other places. The precise conventions and terminology for describing tables vary depending on the context. Further, tables differ significantly in variety, structure, flexibility, notation, representation and use. Information or data conveyed in table form is said to be in tabular format. In books and technical articles, tables are typically presented apart from the main text in numbered and captioned floating blocks.

Yacas

Yacas is a general-purpose computer algebra system. The name is an acronym for Yet Another Computer Algebra System.

In cryptography, the eXtended Sparse Linearization (XSL) attack is a method of cryptanalysis for block ciphers. The attack was first published in 2002 by researchers Nicolas Courtois and Josef Pieprzyk. It has caused some controversy as it was claimed to have the potential to break the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher, also known as Rijndael, faster than an exhaustive search. Since AES is already widely used in commerce and government for the transmission of secret information, finding a technique that can shorten the amount of time it takes to retrieve the secret message without having the key could have wide implications.

Dagstuhl

Dagstuhl is a computer science research center in Germany, located in and named after a district of the town of Wadern, Merzig-Wadern, Saarland.

In computational complexity theory, a nonelementary problem is a problem that is not a member of the class ELEMENTARY. As a class it is sometimes denoted as NONELEMENTARY.

In computer science, an abstract state machine (ASM) is a state machine operating on states that are arbitrary data structures.

Friedrich L. Bauer German computer scientist

Friedrich Ludwig "Fritz" Bauer was a German pioneer of computer science and professor at the Technical University of Munich.

In mathematics and abstract algebra, a relation algebra is a residuated Boolean algebra expanded with an involution called converse, a unary operation. The motivating example of a relation algebra is the algebra 2X² of all binary relations on a set X, that is, subsets of the cartesian square X2, with R•S interpreted as the usual composition of binary relations R and S, and with the converse of R as the converse relation.

In mathematics, a rational monoid is a monoid, an algebraic structure, for which each element can be represented in a "normal form" that can be computed by a finite transducer: multiplication in such a monoid is "easy", in the sense that it can be described by a rational function.

Feature engineering

Feature engineering is the process of using domain knowledge to extract features from raw data. The motivation is to use these extra features to improve the quality of results from a machine learning process, compared with supplying only the raw data to the machine learning process.

The International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA), previously known as Workshop on Experimental Algorithms (WEA), is an computer science conference in the area of experimental algorithmics.

Hartmut Ehrig was a German computer scientist and professor of theoretical computer science and formal specification. He was a pioneer in algebraic specification of abstract data types, and in graph grammars.
