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 ‐ automata and logic ‐ automata for system analysis and programme verification ‐ automata, concurrency and Petri nets ‐ automatic structures ‐ cellular automata ‐ combinatorics on words ‐ computability ‐ computational complexity ‐ computational 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 ‐ foundations of XML ‐ 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 ‐ parallel and regulated rewriting ‐ parsing ‐ pattern recognition ‐ patterns and codes ‐ power series ‐ quantum, chemical and optical computing ‐ semantics ‐ string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and bioinformatics ‐ string processing algorithms ‐ symbolic dynamics ‐ symbolic neural networks ‐ term rewriting ‐ transducers ‐ trees, tree languages and tree automata ‐ weighted automata
STRUCTURE:
LATA 2013 will consist of:
‐ invited talks ‐ invited tutorials ‐ peer‐reviewed contributions
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Jin-Yi Cai (Madison), Complexity Dichotomy for Counting Problems Kousha Etessami (Edinburgh), Algorithms for Analyzing Infinite-state Recursive Probabilistic Systems Luke Ong (Oxford), tutorial Languages and Automata for Higher-order Model Checking Joël Ouaknine (Oxford), tutorial Discrete Linear Dynamical Systems Thomas Schwentick (Dortmund), Applications of Automata in Database Theory -- Challenges to Automata Theory from Databases Andrei Voronkov (Manchester), The Lazy Reviewer Assignment Problem in EasyChair

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.
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:
Uno-e Bank bank’s address: Julian Camarillo 4 C, 28037 Madrid, Spain IBAN: ES3902270001820201823142 BIC/SWIFT: UNOEESM1 account holder: C. Martin – GRLMC account holder’s address: Av. Catalunya 35, 43002 Tarragona, Spain
Please mention LATA 2013 and your name in the subject. A receipt will be provided on site.
Remarks:
- Bank transfers should not involve any expense for the conference. - People claiming early registration will be requested to prove that the bank transfer order was carried out by the deadline. - PhD students will need to provide evidence of their status on site.
People registering on site must pay in cash. For the sake of local organization, however, it is much recommended to do it earlier.
