*********************************************************************

AIM:

SSTiC 2013 will be an open forum for the convergence of top class well
recognized computer scientists and people at the beginning of their
research career (typically PhD students) as well as consolidated
researchers.

SSTiC 2013 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science by means of
63 six-hour courses dealing with hot topics at the frontiers of the
field. By actively participating, lecturers and attendees will share the
idea of scientific excellence as the main motto of their research work.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students from around the world. There are no pre-requisites in
terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since
there will be several levels among the courses, in the description of
some of them reference may be made to specific knowledge background.

SSTiC 2013 is appropriate also for people more advanced in their career
who want to keep themselves updated on developments in the field.

Finally, senior researchers will find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with people who are main references of the diverse branches of computing
nowadays.

REGIME:

7 parallel sessions will be held during the whole event. Participants
will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend
as well as to move from one to another.
