Appel: CIAA 2003 : Eighth International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata

[Alexis Nasr]

Eighth International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata
                                  CIAA 2003
                July 16-18, 2003, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
   Sponsored by: Computer Science Department, College of Engineering and
   Graduate Division at UCSB, AT&T Labs - Research and Expertcity, Inc.



TOPICS
Automata theory is the foundation of computer science. Its applications
have spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other
disciplines. In addition, there is a growing number of software systems
designed to manipulate automata, regular expressions, grammars, and
related structures; examples include AGL, AMORE, Automate, FADELA, FinITE,
FireLite, FLAP, FSM, Grail, INR, Intex, MONA, and Turing's World.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together members of the
academic, research, and industrial community who have an interest in the
theory, implementation, and application of automata and related
structures. We solicit papers and demos in these areas including, but not
limited to, the following topics as they relate to automata:

Bioinformatics
Complexity of automata operations
Compilers
Computer-aided verification
Concurrency
Data structure design for automata
Data and image compression
Design and architecture of automata software
Digital libraries
Document engineering
Editors, environments
Experimental studies and practical experiences
Industrial applications
Natural language processing
Networking
New algorithms for manipulating automata
Object-oriented modeling
Pattern-matching
Quantum computing
Speech and speaker recognition
Structured and semi-structured documents
Symbolic manipulation environments for automata
Teaching
Text processing
Techniques for graphical display of automata
VLSI
Viruses, related phenomena
World-wide web

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are requested to submit an electronic version (in PostScript or
pdf form) by April 1, 2003. An extended abstract should start with the
title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a
one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas, and be sent to:

(Precise instructions to be provided later)

The extended abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the
Program Committee to evaluate its validity, quality, and relevance to the
conference. The extended abstract should be at most ten (10) pages long
using 11-point font with ample margins. If appropriate, proof details
omitted in the paper may be added in an appendix.

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15, 2003.

Final copies of accepted papers must be submitted by June 10, 2003. We
expect the proceedings to appear in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science Series after the conference. (See for example, LNCS 1260
and LNCS 1436 for the proceedings of two previous conferences.) We will
distribute a preproceedings for participants at the conference.

Extended versions of selected papers from the proceedings of the
conference series will be solicited for publication in special issues of
Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) and International Journal of
Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS), alternating each year with the
CIAA 2003 special issue appearing in TCS.
