PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 23, 2007 !!!!!

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 is being developed at the
host institute since 2001, LATA 2008 will reserve significant
room for young computer scientists at the beginning of their
career. It will aim at attracting scholars 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:

- words, languages and automata
- grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, multidimensional,
  unification, categorial, etc.)
- grammars and automata architectures
- extended automata
- combinatorics on words
- language varieties and semigroups
- algebraic language theory
- computability
- computational and structural complexity
- decidability questions on words and languages
- patterns and codes
- symbolic dynamics
- regulated rewriting
- trees, tree languages and tree machines
- term rewriting
- graphs and graph transformation
- power series
- fuzzy and rough languages
- cellular automata
- DNA and other models of bio-inspired computing
- symbolic neural networks
- quantum, chemical and optical computing
- biomolecular nanotechnology
- automata and logic
- algorithms on automata and words
- automata for system analysis and programme verification
- automata, concurrency and Petri nets
- parsing
- weighted machines
- transducers
- foundations of finite state technology
- grammatical inference and algorithmic learning
- text retrieval, pattern matching and pattern recognition
- text algorithms
- string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and
  bioinformatics
- mathematical evolutionary genomics
- language-based cryptography
- data and image compression
- circuits and networks
- language-theoretic foundations of artificial intelligence and
  artificial life
- digital libraries
- document engineering

STRUCTURE:

LATA 2008 will consist of:

- 3 invited talks (to be announced in the second call for papers)
- 2 tutorials (to be announced in the second call for papers)
- refereed contributions
- open sessions for discussion in specific subfields or on
  professional issues
