Call for Papers -- CIAA 2010

15th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, August 12-15, 2010

http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/ciaa2010

CIAA is the premier annual conference for researchers, application
developers and users of automata-based systems. The applications of
the theory of automata, a foundational area of computer science,
have spread to almost all areas of computer science and many
other disciplines.

The CIAA series has published significant papers describing the
applications of finite automata in parsing and compilers, logic,
natural language processing, pattern matching, database management
and bioinformatics. The conference also accepts papers that advance
the state of the art in the theoretical study of finite automata,
regular expressions, grammars and related formal models.

A goal of the conference is to provide additions and enhancements to existing
software systems that manipulate automata, regular expressions,
grammars, and related structures; examples of such systems include
AGL, AMoRE, ASTL, Automate, FADELA, FAdo, FinITE, FIRE Station, FSM,
Grail+, INR, Intex, JFLAP, MERLin, MONA, TESTAS, Turing's World, Vaucanson,
WFSC and Whale Calf.

DCFS 2010 (August 8-10, Saskatoon), CIAA 2010 (August 12-15, Winnipeg)
and DLT 2010 (August 17-20, London, Ontario) are organized in Canada
one after another to allow attendance at all three conferences.

Notification: May 15, 2010
Camera-ready Version: June 1, 2010
Conference Dates: August 12-15, 2010

SUBMISSIONS

Research papers are sought on all aspects of implementation,
application, and theory of automata and related structures.
Researchers are invited to submit unpublished original research
Simultaneous submissions to other venues is not allowed.

Submitted papers must use the LNCS style (available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and may not
exceed 10 pages.

Papers must be in English and provide sufficient details to
allow the program committee to assess their merits. If the authors
believe more details are necessary to substantiate the claims of the
paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix to be read at the
discretion of the committee.

Papers will be submitted electronically in PDF, using the EasyChair system.

Revised versions of selected proceedings papers will appear in a special issue
of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS).
