DLT 2012 - 16th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory (DLT 2012)

The 16th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory (DLT 2012) will take place in Taipei, Taiwan, on August 14~17, 2012. The conference will be hosted by the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University. The conference is also under the auspices of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together members of the academic, research, and industrial community who have an interest in formal languages, automata theory, and related areas.

Typical topics include, but are not limited to, grammars, acceptors and transducers for words, trees and graphs, algebraic theories of automata; algorithmic, combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages; variable length codes; symbolic dynamics; cellular automata; polyominoes and multidimensional patterns; decidability questions; image manipulation and compression; efficient text algorithms; relationships to cryptography, concurrency, complexity theory and logic; bio-inspired computing; quantum computing.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research. The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Extended versions of selected papers from the proceedings will appear in a special issue of International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (IJFCS).
