The CIAA conference series, which was started in 1996, covers all aspects of implementation, application, and theory of automata and related structures. It aims to attract contributions from both classical automata theory and applications.

TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but not limited to: algorithms on automata, automata and logic, bioinformatics, complexity of automata operations, compilers, computer-aided verification, concurrency, data structure design for automata, data and image compression, design and architecture of automata software, digital libraries, DNA/molecular/membrane computing, document engineering, editors, environments, experimental studies and practical experience, implementation of verification methods and model checking, industrial applications, natural language and speech processing, networking, new algorithms for manipulating automata, object-oriented modeling, pattern-matching, pushdown automata and context-free grammars, quantum computing, structured and semi-structured documents, symbolic manipulation environments for automata, transducers and multi-tape automata, techniques for graphical display of automata, VLSI, viruses and related phenomena, and the world-wide web.

INVITED SPEAKERS

  • Oscar Ibarra (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA)
  • Bakhadyr Khoussainov (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
  • Ahyoung Sung (Samsung Electronics, South Korea)

    SUBMISSIONS
    Submissions must be written in LaTeX using the LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages, bibliography included. If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the main claims, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Simultaneous submissions of papers to journals or any other conference with published proceedings, or submitting previously published papers is not allowed. Only electronic submission of PDF documents is possible.
    Authors should submit their contributions at
    https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ciaa2016

    PUBLICATION
    Accepted papers will be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) in time for distribution at the conference. Extended versions of selected papers from the proceedings will appear in a special issue of International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS).
