CALL FOR PARTICIPATION and DEMO SESSION CIAA12

Early registration deadline: June 1, 2012 
Deadline for system demos: June 1, 2012 

CIAA is the premier annual conference for researchers, application
developers and users of automata-based systems.  The applications of the
theory of automata, a foundational area of computer science, have spread
to almost all areas of computer science and many other disciplines.

CIAA 2012 will be held just before DCFS 2012 which will take place in
Braga, also in Portugal and less then 50 km from Porto, on July 23--25.

REGISTRATION 
------------ 

On-line registration:

We encourage the submission of software demos related to all topics of
the conference. Developers wishing to demonstrate their software should
submit a two-pages description to the outlining the design of their
system and its application area(s). Submissions should use the
LNCS-style LaTeX2e, and be send (latex+pdf) to: ciaa12 at dcc.fc.up.pt

The descriptions of accepted demos will appear in a booklet available at
the conference.

DEADLINE for system demo submissions is June 1.
