VIASM Meeting on Mathematical Aspects of Computer Sciences

Time:08:00:03/12/2021 to  17:00:04/12/2021

Venue/Location: It will be held online or in a hybrid mode.

1. Objective or Description of the Scientific Content:

VMMACS is an annual meeting in VIASM focusing on research in mathematical aspects of computer sciences. It brings together a community of Vietnamese researchers and leading international scientists around the world each year to present and discuss recent research results on applications of mathematics relevant to all areas of computer sciences, including theoretical computer science, coding theory, cryptography and cybersecurity, machine learning and AI. It also creates an opportunity for students in Vietnam to learn from senior researchers and deepen their connection with the community. Hosted by Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, VMMACS 2021 will feature keynote speeches by international scientists and invited speeches by Vietnamese researchers.
