The series of International Conference on Developments in Language Theory provides a forum for presenting current developments in formal languages and automata. Its scope is very general and includes, among others:

- grammars, acceptors, and transducers for words, trees, and graphs
- algebraic theories of automata
- algorithmic, combinatorial, and algebraic properties of words and languages
- relations between formal languages and artificial neural networks
- variable length codes
- symbolic dynamics
- cellular automata
- groups and semigroups generated by automata
- polyominoes and multidimensional patterns
- decidability questions
- image manipulation and compression
- efficient text algorithms
- relationships to cryptography, concurrency, complexity theory, and logic
- bio-inspired computing
- quantum computing

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research. The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Simultaneous submission to journals or other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages excluding bibliography and must follow the LNCS-style LaTeX2e (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

In order to facilitate the review process, all proofs omitted due to page limitations can be given in an appendix or made accessible through a reliable link to a freely available electronic preprint. Please note that the paper should be self-contained; reviewers are not required to read any additional pages, thus consulting the appendix is up to the reviewer. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through the EasyChair system:
