Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Tradition: The symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory was establi shed in 1977 as a biennial event for researchers interested in all aspects of theoretical computer science, in particular in algorithms, complexity, and formal and logical methods. The previous FCT conferences were held in the following cities: Poznan (Poland, 1977), Wendisch-Rietz (Germany, 1979), Szeged (Hungary, 1981), Borgholm (Sweden, 1983), Cottbus (Germany, 1985), Kazan (Russia, 1987), Szeged (Hungary, 1989), Gosen-Berlin (Germany, 1991), Szeged (Hungary, 1993), Dresden (Germany, 1995),=20 Krakow (Poland, 1997), Iasi (Romania, 1999) and Riga (Latvia, 2001). The 14-th International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory is organized jointly by Lund University and Malmo Hogskolan.
