CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". This year’s 
conference will open with a special tribute session that CiE 
society is dedicating to the former CiE president, Barry Cooper 
who unexpectedly passed away on October 26th 2015.  Barry was 
originally scheduled as a plenary speaker at this year’s 
conference.

The year 2016 brings the eightieth anniversary of the publication 
of Alan Turing's seminal paper featuring the Universal Turing 
Machine. Just as the semantics of the machine gave rise to 
Incomputability, and pointed to future directions in proof 
theory, AI, generalized computability, the underlying role of 
typed information and natural language, and the computability and 
definability underpinning bioinformatics: so our conference 
subtitle honors Turing's role in anticipating the quest for 
universal computational frameworks across a wide spectrum of 
scientific and humanist disciplines.

CiE 2016 is the twelfth conference organized by CiE 
(Computability in Europe), a European association of 
mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, 
physicists and others interested in new developments in 
computability and their underlying significance for the real 
world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), 
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), 
Ponte Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan 
(2013), Budapest (2014) and Bucharest (2015).

INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:

While computer science conferences usually host formal 
presentations based on papers published in a proceedings volume, 
mathematics conferences allow for informal presentations that are 
prepared very shortly before the conference and inform the 
participants about current research and work in progress. So, 
continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, CiE 2016 hosts 
a series of informal presentations, in addition to the 
presentations based on the papers in the LNCS proceedings volume. 
The list of informal presentations can be found here:
