TOPICS

Automata theory is the foundation of computer science. Its applications have spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other disciplines. In addition, there is a growing number of software systems designed to manipulate automata, regular expressions, grammars, and related structures; examples include AGL, AMORE, Automate, FADELA, FinITE, FireLite, FLAP, FSM, Grail, INR, Intex, MONA, and Turing's World.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together members of the academic, research, and industrial community who have an interest in the theory, implementation, and application of automata and related structures. We solicit papers and demos in these areas including, but not limited to, the following topics as they relate to automata:

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS


Authors are requested to submit an electronic version (in PostScript or pdf form) by April 1, 2003. An extended abstract should start with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas, and be submitted at the following url:

http://monica.cs.ucsb.edu:8080/submit.html (submission closed)

The extended abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the Program Committee to evaluate its validity, quality, and relevance to the conference. The extended abstract should be at most ten (10) pages long using 11-point font with ample margins. If appropriate, proof details omitted in the paper may be added in an appendix.

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by May 9, 2003.

Final copies of accepted papers must be submitted by May 26, 2003 for publication in a Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science Proceedings. (See for example, LNCS 1260 and LNCS 1436 for the proceedings of two previous conferences.) We will distribute the proceedings to the participants at the conference.

Extended versions of selected papers from the proceedings of the conference series will be solicited for publication in special issues of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) and International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS), alternating each year with the CIAA 2003 special issue appearing in TCS.
