July 23-25, 2001
This conference concerns research on all aspects of implementation and application of automata and related structures.
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 implementation and application of automata to demonstrate and analyze their work and to explain the problems they have been solving.
We solicit papers and demos on all aspects of implementation and application of automata and related structures, including but not limited to:
Authors are requested to submit an electronic version (in PostScript or LaTeX form) or six hard copies of an extended abstract (arriving) by April 17, 2001. 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 sent to:
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 15,
2001.
Final copies of accepted papers must be submitted by July 6,
2001. We expect the proceedings to appear in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series after the conference. (See for example,
LNCS 1260 and LNCS 1436 for the proceedings of two previous conferences.) We
will distribute a preproceedings for 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 2001 special issue
appearing in TCS.
We encourage the submission of software demos. Developers wishing to
demonstrate their software should submit a two-page description
to the address given above by April 17, 2001, outlining the
design of their system and their computing needs (if any).
