[GRLMC]

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND AUTOMATA

THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

 

LATA 2013

 

Bilbao, Spain

 

April 2-5, 2013

 

Organized by:

Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC)

Rovira i Virgili University

 

http://grammars.grlmc.com/LATA2013/

 

 

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 2013 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 2013 will take place in Bilbao, at the Basque Country in Northern Spain. The venue will be the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM).

 

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

‐ automatic structures

‐ cellular automata

‐ combinatorics on words

‐ computability

‐ computational complexity

SUBMISSIONS:

 

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research. Papers should not exceed 12 single‐spaced pages (including eventual appendices) and should be formatted according to the standard format for Springer Verlag's LNCS series (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

 

Submissions have to be uploaded to:

 

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lata2013

 

PUBLICATIONS:

 

A volume of proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series will be available by the time of the conference.

 

A special issue of a major journal will be later published containing peer‐reviewed extended versions of some of the papers contributed to the conference. Submissions to it will be by invitation.

 

REGISTRATION:

 

The period for registration is open from August 6, 2012 to April 2, 2013. The registration form can be found at the website of the conference:

 

http://grammars.grlmc.com/LATA2013/

 

FEES:

 

Early registration fees: 500 Euro

Early registration fees (PhD students): 400 Euro

Late registration fees: 540 Euro

Late registration fees (PhD students): 440 Euro

On‐site registration fees: 580 Euro

On‐site registration fees (PhD students): 480 Euro

 

At least one author per paper should register. Papers that do not have a registered author who paid the fees by January 2, 2013 will be excluded from the proceedings.

 

One registration gives the right to present only one paper.

 

Fees comprise access to all sessions, one copy of the proceedings volume, coffee breaks and lunches. PhD students will need to prove their status on site.

 

PAYMENT:

 

Early (resp. late) registration fees must be paid by bank transfer before January 2, 2013 (resp.

March 23, 2013) to the conference bank account:
