8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND AUTOMATA THEORY AND
APPLICATIONS

LATA 2014

Madrid, Spain

March 10-14, 2014

Organized by:

Research Group on Implementation of Language-Driven Software and
Applications (ILSA)

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

AIMS:

LATA is a yearly conference on theoretical computer science and its
applications. Following the tradition of the diverse PhD training events
in the field developed at Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona since
2002, LATA 2014 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,
language technology, artificial intelligence, etc.).

VENUE:

LATA 2014 will take place in Madrid, the capital of Spain. The venue
will be the School of Informatics of Complutense University.

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
- codes
- combinatorics on words
- compilers
- computability
- computational complexity
- data and image compression
- decidability issues on words and languages
- descriptional complexity
- DNA and other models of bio-inspired computing
- digital libraries and document engineering
- foundations of finite state technology
- foundations of XML
- fuzzy and rough languages
- grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, unification, categorial,
  etc.)
- 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
- natural language and speech automatic processing
- parallel and regulated rewriting
- parsing
- patterns
- 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
