Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement! --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers STACS'99 16th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science March 4-6, Trier, Germany --------------------------------------------------------- http://stacs.uni-trier.de/STACS99/ --------------------------------------------------------- The 16th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science is organized jointly by the Special Interest Group for Theoretical Computer Science of the Gesellschaft fuer Informatik (GI) and the Maison de l'Informatique et des Mathematiques Discretes (MIMD). Scope: Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Typical areas include (but are not limited to): algorithms and data structures automata and formal languages computational and structural complexity semantics of programming languages theory of parallel and distributed computation parallel algorithms logic in computer science algorithmic learning theory computational geometry cryptography computer systems theory program specification verification VLSI structures theory of data bases computational issues in artificial intelligence Submissions: Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper (5-12 pages, the title page must contain a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above). Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix. Electronic submission is highly recommended. Detailed information is available on the web site http://stacs.uni-trier.de/STACS99/ . In case of problems with access to internet, it is possible to submit 6 copies of the draft (plus 1 copy of the appendix) and 15 copies of a one page abstract to the chairman of the program committee. Important dates: Deadline for submission: September 11, 1998 Notification to authors: November 6, 1998 Final version: December 4, 1998 Symposium: March 4--6, 1999 Addresses: Christoph Meinel FB IV - Informatik Universitaet Trier D-54286 Trier, Germany web site http://stacs.uni-trier.de/STACS99/ email info@stacs.uni-trier.de Phone ++49-651-201-2836 Fax ++49-651-201-3954 Program Committee: S.

Proceedings: Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag). Dual submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Grants: We expect to receive TMR grants from the EU commission to be able to support young researchers (age below 40 for female and below 35 for male) from EU countries or associated countries attending the conference. Researchers from Eastern- and Central-European countries can apply for a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Detailed informations are available via request on e-mail.
