Guide for Authors
Theoretical Computer Science is mathematical and abstract in spirit, but it derives its motivation from practical and everyday computation. All papers introducing or studying mathematical, logic and formal concepts and methods are welcome, provided that their motivation is clearly drawn from the field of computing.
Papers published in Theoretical Computer Science are grouped in three sections according to their nature.
Algorithms, automata, complexity and games, or TCS-A, is devoted to the study of algorithms and their complexity using analytical, combinatorial or probabilistic methods.
Logic, semantics and theory of programming, or TCS-B, is devoted to formal methods to check properties of programs or implement formally described languages and contains all papers dealing with semantics of sequential and parallel programming languages.
Natural Computing, or TCS-C, is devoted to the study of computingoccurring in nature and computing inspired by nature. This section is focused on the theoretical aspects ofnatural computing with clear relevance to computing. Among others, it will contain papers dealing with the theoretical issues in evolutionary computing, neural networks, molecularcomputing, and quantum computing.
Any queries about submissions and peer review should be addressed to the TCS editorial office: tcs@elsevier.com.
