Fundamenta Informaticae

Fundamenta Informaticae (commonly abbreviated as Fundam. Inform.) is a theoretical computer science journal run under the Polish Mathematical Society. Established in 1977 and published by IOS Press, it appears five times a year and is now hosted on the open access Episciences platform.Fundamenta Informaticae（常用缩写 Fundam. Inform.）是波兰数学学会主办的理论计算机科学期刊，1977 年创刊，由 IOS Press 出版，每年出版 5 期，现托管于开放获取平台 Episciences。^[1]
