1st Call for Papers
4th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND
AUTOMATA THEORY AND APPLICATIONS (LATA 2010)
Trier, Germany, May 24-28, 2010
http://grammars.grlmc.com/LATA2010/
*********************************************************************
AIMS:
LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical
computer science and its applications. As linked
to the International PhD School in Formal
Languages and Applications that was developed at
Rovira i Virgili University (the host of the
previous three editions and co-organizer of this
one) in the period 2002-2006, LATA 2010 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.).
SCOPE:
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest
include, but are not limited to:
- algebraic language theory
- algorithms on automata and words
- automata and logic
- automata for system analysis and programme verification
- automata, concurrency and Petri nets
- cellular automata
- combinatorics on words
- computability
- computational complexity
- computer 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
- 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
- neural networks
- parallel and regulated rewriting
- parsing
- pattern matching and pattern recognition
- patterns and codes
- power series
- quantum, chemical and optical computing
- semantics
- string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and bioinformatics
- symbolic dynamics
- term rewriting
- text algorithms
- text retrieval
- transducers
- trees, tree languages and tree machines
- weighted machines
STRUCTURE:
LATA 2010 will consist of:
- 3 invited talks
- 2 invited tutorials
- refereed contributions
- open sessions for discussion in specific
subfields, on open problems, or on professional
issues (if requested by the participants)
Invited speakers to be announced.
