April 16-20, 2012, Arequipa, Peru

A series of Symposia in Theoretical Computer Science was launched in 1992, to

be held in Latin America: LATIN (Latin American Theoretical INformatics). This

is the tenth event of the series, after Sao Paulo, Brazil (1992), Valparaiso,

Chile (1995), Campinas, Brazil (1998), Punta del Este, Uruguay (2000), Cancun,

Mexico (2002), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2004), Valdivia, Chile (2006), Buzios,

Brazil (2008), and Oaxaca, Mexico (2010).

Submission of papers in all areas of theoretical computer science is hereby

solicited, including (but not limited to): algorithms (approximation, online,

randomized, algorithmic game theory, etc.), automata theory and formal

languages, coding theory and data compression, combinatorics and graph theory,

complexity theory, computational algebra, computational biology, computational

geometry, computational number theory, databases and information retrieval,

data structures, Internet and the web, logic in computer science, machine

learning, mathematical programming, parallel and distributed computing,

pattern matching, quantum computing, random structures, scientific computing.

Proceedings containing the accepted extended abstracts will be published by

Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer than

12 pages (including the bibliography) on letter-size paper using at least

11-point font in Springer LNCS format. Additional necessary details must be

included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of

the program committee. Instructions for electronic submissions will be posted

at the conference web site:

Submission: Sep. 23, 2011

Notification: Nov. 25, 2011

Final version: Dec. 16, 2011

Starting in 2012, an award shall be given to the LATIN paper deemed to be most

influential among all those published at least ten years prior to the current

edition of the conference. Papers published in the LATIN proceedings up to

and including 2002 are eligible for the 2012 award.

Arequipa is Peru's second largest city, with a population of over 900,000. It

is located 1,020 kilometers southeast of Lima, at 2,230 meters above sea level,

and is surrounded by mountains, most notably the Misti volcano. It is also the

home of the Universidad Catolica San Pablo, which will host LATIN 2012. The

weather is sunny year-round, warm during the day and cool at night. Arequipa is

an important center of Peruvian arts and culture. Its downtown area, with

buildings made of white volcanic rock blending native and Spanish styles, is a

UNESCO World Heritage site. Among the attractions within easy reach is the Colca

canyon, one of the world's deepest. Southern Peru has many points of interest,

including the Cusco region (famous, among other things, for Machu Picchu), the

Nazca lines, and the Altiplano. Peru's cuisine is world-renowned, and Arequipa

occupies a special place in Peruvian gastronomy.

The conference web site will contain travel and local information, and other

useful facts.
