IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: March 10, 2013
Notification: April 21, 2013
Final Version: May 8, 2013 (to be confirmed)
Conference Dates: July 16-19, 2013

AIM AND SCOPE

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.

The CIAA series has published significant papers describing the
applications of finite automata in parsing and compilers, logic, natural
language processing, pattern matching, database management, and
bioinformatics. The conference also accepts papers that advance the
state of the art in the theoretical study of finite automata, regular
expressions, grammars and related formal models.

Another goal of the conference is to provide additions and enhancements
to existing software systems that manipulate automata, regular
expressions, grammars, and related structures; examples of such systems
include
AGL, AMoRE, ASTL, Automate, FADELA, FAdo, FinITE, FIRE Station, FSM,
Grail+, I-LaSer, INR, Intex, JFLAP, MERLin, MONA, TESTAS, Turing's
World, Vaucanson, WFSC and Whale Calf.

TOPICS

CIAA invites papers on all aspects of implementation, application, and
theory of automata and related structures, including but not limited to:

     Algorithms on automata
     Automata and logic

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Papers will be submitted in PDF, using the EasyChair system at:

         http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ciaa2013

Authors must use the LNCS-style LaTeX2e available at:

         http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Research papers are sought on all aspects of implementation,
application, and theory of automata and related structures.
Researchers are invited to submit unpublished original research.
Simultaneous submissions to other venues is not allowed.

Papers must be written in English and provide sufficient details to
allow the program committee to assess their merits. If the authors
believe that more details are necessary to substantiate the claims of
the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix to be read at the
discretion of the committee.

Proceedings will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) and will be available at the conference. Extended
versions of selected proceedings papers will appear in a special issue
of TBA.

DEMOS

We encourage the submission of software demos. Developers wishing to
demonstrate their software should submit a two-page description
outlining the design of their system and its application area(s).
More information about how to submit a demo will be available at the
conference website.

VENUE

CIAA 2013 will take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the largest city in
Atlantic Canada (east of Montreal), located at the east coast of Canada.

The venue will be Saint Mary's University, located in the city centre.
