PSC 2014 is the 19th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The
proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Thomson Reuters, Scopus
and DBLP.



TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and
developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years
have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part
to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make
important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing
that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are
not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing



INVITED TALK:

  * The Number of Distinct Squares Problem
    Frantisek Franek, McMaster University, Canada



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 20, 2014. The paper should start
with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and
a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be
submitted via submission server
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc20140).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using the
LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has
an interface compatible to the standard LNCS style.

HISTORY:

PSC 2014 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2013. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech
Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web
pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a
special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the
2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of
Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics,
International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science, and Discrete
Applied Mathematics.



LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC 2014 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 1-3, 2014.  (The
precise location will be announced later.) The working language is
English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings
published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at
the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.
