THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

LATA 2012

A Coruña, Spain

March 5-9, 2012

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:

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
