*************************************************************************

 
AIMS:

 

LATA is a conference series on theoretical computer science and its applications. LATA 2019 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting contributions from classical theory fields as well as application areas.

 
VENUE:

 

LATA 2019 will take place in Saint Petersburg, whose historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The conference site shall be the historical Twelve Collegia building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Collegia), built in ca. 1740,

which was used for the Russian government in the 18th century, and which

has been the main building of Saint Petersburg State University since 1835.

 
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 networks

automatic structures

codes

combinatorics on words

computational complexity

concurrency and Petri nets

data and image compression

descriptional complexity

foundations of finite state technology

foundations of XML

grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, unification, categorial, etc.)

grammatical inference and algorithmic learning

graphs and graph transformation

language varieties and semigroups

language-based cryptography

mathematical and logical foundations of programming methodologies

parallel and regulated rewriting

parsing

patterns

power series

string processing algorithms

symbolic dynamics

term rewriting

transducers

trees, tree languages and tree automata

weighted automata
