2nd Call for Papers

5th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND AUTOMATA THEORY AND
APPLICATIONS (LATA 2011)

Tarragona, Spain, May 30 – June 3, 2011

http://grammars.grlmc.com/LATA2011/

*********************************************************************

AIMS:

LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical computer science and its
applications. Inheriting the tradition of the International PhD School
in Formal Languages and Applications that was developed at Rovira i
Virgili University in the period 2002-2006, LATA 2011 will reserve
significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their
career. It will aim at attracting contributions from both classical
theory fields and application areas (bioinformatics, systems biology,
language technology, artificial intelligence, etc.).

SCOPE:

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- algebraic language theory
- algorithms for semi-structured data mining
- algorithms on automata and words
- automata and logic
- automata for system analysis and programme verification
- automata, concurrency and Petri nets
- cellular automata
- combinatorics on words
- computability
- computational complexity
- computational linguistics
- data and image compression
- decidability questions on words and languages
- descriptional complexity
- DNA and other models of bio-inspired computing
- document engineering
- foundations of finite state technology
- fuzzy and rough languages
- grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, multidimensional,
  unification, categorial, etc.)
- grammars and automata architectures
- grammatical inference and algorithmic learning
- graphs and graph transformation
- language varieties and semigroups
- language-based cryptography
- language-theoretic foundations of artificial intelligence and
  artificial life
- neural networks
- parallel and regulated rewriting
- parsing
- pattern recognition
- patterns and codes
- power series
- quantum, chemical and optical computing
- semantics
- string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and
  bioinformatics
- string processing algorithms
- symbolic dynamics
- term rewriting
- transducers
- trees, tree languages and tree machines
- weighted machines

STRUCTURE:

LATA 2011 will consist of:

- 3 invited talks
- 2 invited tutorials
- refereed contributions
- open sessions for discussion in specific subfields, on open
  problems, or on professional issues (if requested by the
  participants)

PUBLICATIONS:

A volume of proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series will
be available by the time of the conference.

A special issue of a major journal will be later published containing
refereed extended versions of some of the papers contributed to the
conference. Submissions to it will be by invitation.

REGISTRATION:

The period for registration will be open since October 13, 2010 until
May 30, 2011. The registration form can be found at the website of the
