YDS 2011

The Department of Computer Science at the University of York is to host the 4th York Doctoral Symposium on Computer Science (YDS 2011) on the 20th October this year. The goal of the symposium is to bring together doctoral students from around the UK and Europe to share and exchange their research and ideas with others. The hope is that by bringing students together from a wide range of areas, we can promote interdisciplinary research, as well as allow doctoral students to gain experience presenting their work to colleagues.

Invited Speaker: Alan Winfield

We are delighted to announce that Professor Alan Winfield has agreed to be our invited speaker at YDS this year.

The YDS organising and program committees are both eagerly anticipating what promises to be a very exciting session with Professor Winfield.

YDS logo in 3D!

Thanks to some hard work from Jenny Owen, we’ve printed this year’s logo in 3D! You can check out the video here.

Pics of the result will be posted shortly, and one lucky delegate will be taking home the print out on the day of the symposium! :-)
