http://www.smcs.upei.ca/ciaa2018

The 23rd International Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata will take place in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada between July 30 and August 2, 2018. Charlottetown is the capital and largest city on Prince Edward Island, and the birthplace of Canada. The conference is organized by the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences of University of Prince Edward Island.

Important Dates

    • New submissions are allowed until March 25, 2018, AoE
    • Updates of previously submitted papers are allowed until March 30, 2018.
  • Notification of acceptance or rejection: (delayed) April 20 25 27, 2018
  • Camera ready for the conference proceedings: May 6, 2018
  • Conference: July 30--August 2, 2018

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. The proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series volume 10977and will be available at the conference here. Authors should submit their contributions here.

Software Demos

CIAA 2018 will offer a tool session on Wednesday August 1st in the afternoon. This session will be the occasion to demonstrate tools on automata to the CIAA audience. If you are interested in presenting your tool in this session, please send an email to with a brief description of the tools and a link to the tool's webpage before *** July 10 ***

Special issue

Selected papers from the conference will be invited for consideration in an extended version and will appear in a special issue of International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS).

Topics

We are inviting your participation at CIAA 2018. Original papers are sought in all areas that relate to implementation and application of automata, including (but not restricted 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 experiences,
  • implementation of verification methods and model checking,
  • industrial applications,
  • natural language and speech processing,
  • networking, new algorithms for manipulating automata,
  • new algorithms for manipulating automata,
  • object-oriented modeling,
  • pattern-matching,
  • pushdown automata and context-free grammars,
  • quantum computing,
  • speech and speaker recognition,
  • structured and semi-structured documents,
  • symbolic manipulation environments for automata,
  • teaching,
  • text processing,
  • techniques for graphical display of automata,
  • transducers and multi-tape automata,
  • VLSI,

DCFS 2018 will take place immediately after
  • DCFS 2018 The 19th International Conference on Descriptional Complexity, Halifax/Nova Scotia, Canada, July 15 - 27, 2018,
and before
  • DLT 2018 The 22nd International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, Tokyo, Japan, September 10-14, 2018,

thus it will be easy to attend all these events.
