---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 32 JAIIO - WAIT 2003 Argentinian Workshop on Theoretical Computer Science Buenos Aires - Argentina September 1-5, 2003 Deadline for reception of papers: May 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Argentinian Workshop on Theoretical Computer Science (WAIT) has become an important Latin American forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of research in theoretical computer science and its applications. The workshop aims are to build a bridge between academic and applied research and to stimulate the exchange of ideas and experience between theory and practise in computer science. The meeting includes contributed and invited talks, and tutorials. Further, we are very pleased to announce that there will be a special issue of ENTCS (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/entcs) dedicated to WAIT 2003 publishing a selection of outstanding contributions. WAIT 2003 (http://wait2003.famaf.unc.edu.ar), the 7-th workshop in the series, will be held in Buenos Aires during September 1-5 (2003) as part of the 32-nd Argentinian Conference on Informatics and Operations Research (32 JAIIO, http://www.jaiio2003.uade.edu.ar). Buenos Aires (http://www.buenosaires.gov.ar/areas/turismo/en/) is a cosmopolitan and modern urban centre easily accessible by plane from most mayor cities in the world. The city is characterised by the multiplicity of its artistic expressions, ranging from the great assortment of sculptures and monuments to streets and corners that surprise with their allegorical reliefs and murals. The climate of Buenos Aires ---oceanic and warm--- is mild all year round, allowing visitors to discover the city on foot in any season. The city offers all categories of accommodation, and food ---which is something of a cult--- is of high quality. TOPICS Submissions are welcome in all fields of Theoretical Computer Science. Specific topics of WAIT 2003 include (but are not limited to): * Logical and algebraic foundations of computer science (logics for computation, category theory, relation algebras, type theory); * Formal methods (formal specification of sequential and concurrent programs, analysis, verification and transformation of programs, model checking); * Algorithms and data structures (sequential, parallel, distributed and on-line computing, probabilistic algorithms); * Automata theory and computational complexity; * Symbolic and algebraic computation; * Quantum Computing; * Bioinformatics. Submissions are expected to contain original research and will be refereed by international experts. Research papers must contain previously unpublished results. They will be judged on the base of originality and importance of their contributions and clarity of presentation. Papers should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references. PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Martin Abadi (University of California at Santa Cruz) Gilles Barthe (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis) Gabriel Baum (Universidad de La Plata) Veronica Becher (Universidad de Buenos Aires) Vincent Danos (CNRS, Paris VII) Peter Dybjer (University of Gothenburg) Roberto Di Cosmo (PPS, Paris VII) Esteban Feuerstein (Universidad de Buenos Aires) Marcelo Fiore (Cambridge University) (co-chair) Daniel Fridlender (Universidad de Cordoba) (co-chair) Joos Heintz (Universidad de Buenos Aires) Gonzalo Navarro (Universidad de Chile) Peter O'Hearn (QMW, University of London) Alfredo Viola (Universidad de la Republica) IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for reception of papers.................................May 4 Notification of acceptance.....................................June 27 Deadline for reception of the final version....................July 18 INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: To facilitate the dissemination of papers and results, authors are invited to submit their papers in English. However, papers in Spanish or Portuguese are also welcome. Accepted contributions will be published in the Proceedings of the 32 JAIIO. Further, a selection of outstanding contributions will be invited to be published (in English) in a special issue of ENTCS dedicated to WAIT 2003. Papers should respond to ENTCS format (obtainable from http://math.tulane.edu/~entcs/) or similar, and must be submitted electronically in PostScript format (ghostview-readable) or PDF to the following e-mail address: wait2003@famaf.unc.edu.ar. Authors should communicate in a separate e-mail (in ASCII format) the title of the paper together with a short abstract, name and affiliation of all co-authors and their e-mail addresses, phone and FAX numbers. The message should also contain a list of keywords describing the area of the paper. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
