*********************************************************************
*** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 12 (23:59h, CET) ***
AIMS:
LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical
computer science and its applications. Following the tradition
of the International Schools in Formal Languages
and Applications developed at Rovira i Virgili University
in Tarragona since 2002, LATA 2012 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.).
VENUE:
LATA 2012 will take place in A Coruña, at the
northwest of Spain. The venue will be the Faculty of
Computer Science, University of A Coruña.
SCOPE:
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest
include, but are not limited to:
â algebraic language theory
â algorithms for semiâstructured data mining
â algorithms on automata and words
â automata and logic
â automata for system analysis and programme verification
â automata, concurrency and Petri nets
â automatic structures
â cellular automata
â combinatorics on words
â computability
â computational complexity
â computational linguistics
â data and image compression
â decidability questions on words and languages
â descriptional complexity
â DNA and other models of bioâinspired computing
â document engineering
â foundations of finite state technology
â foundations of XML
â fuzzy and rough languages
â grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual,
multidimensional, unification, categorial, etc.)
â grammars and automata architectures
â grammatical inference and algorithmic learning
â graphs and graph transformation
â language varieties and semigroups
â languageâbased cryptography
â languageâtheoretic foundations of
artificial intelligence and artificial life
â parallel and regulated rewriting
â parsing
â pattern recognition
â patterns and codes
â power series
â quantum, chemical and optical computing
â semantics
â string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and bioinformatics
â string processing algorithms
â symbolic dynamics
â symbolic neural networks
â term rewriting
â transducers
â trees, tree languages and tree automata
â weighted automata
STRUCTURE:
LATA 2012 will consist of:
â 3 invited talks
â 2 invited tutorials
â peerâreviewed contributions
