1st Call for Papers

6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND AUTOMATA
THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

LATA 2012

A Coruña, Spain

March 5-9, 2012

http://grammars.grlmc.com/LATA2012/

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

AIMS:

LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical computer science and its
applications. Following the tradition of the International Schools in
Formal Languages and Applications developed at Rovira i Virgili
University in Tarragona since 2002, LATA 2012 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.).

VENUE:

LATA 2012 will take place in A Coruña, at the northwest of Spain. The
venue will be the Faculty of Computer Science, University of A Coruña.

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
- automatic structures
- 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
- foundations of XML
- 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
- 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
- symbolic neural networks
- term rewriting
- transducers
- trees, tree languages and tree automata
- weighted automata

STRUCTURE:

LATA 2012 will consist of:

- 3 invited talks
- 2 invited tutorials
- peer-reviewed contributions
