TAU 2022 TheoryFest, December 26-28, 2022

The Theory of Computing was born as a purely mathematical investigation into the notion of computation. From the start, it has been a cornerstone of computer science and has been used to tackle fundamental computing research problems. It was soon recognized as a useful paradigm of thought that facilitates research in other disciplines as well, such as economics and biology.

The purpose of the conference is to present current research in The Theory of Computing as well as to discuss its future in many areas. These include complexity-theory, Boolean-functions, cryptography, learning, algorithmic game-theory and discrete mathematics.
