Preliminary Call for Papers 28 JAIIO - WAIT'99 Argentinian Workshop on Theoretical Computer Science Buenos Aires - Argentina September 6-7, 1999 The 3rd Argentinian Workshop on Theoretical Computer Science (WAIT'99) will be part on the 28th Argentinean Conference on Informatics and Operations Research (28 JAIIO), to be held in Buenos Aires from September 6th to September 10th, 1999. The goal of the workshop is bringing together researchers from academy (from Argentinean and other universities) and industry professionals in order to discuss theoretical, empirical and experimental results on the field of theoretical computer science. This workshop will consist of invited talks and technical presentations. Contributions are expected in all the areas of theoretical computer science, including the following: * Logical and algebraic foundations for computer science (logics for computer science, category theory, relation algebras, type theory, etc.), * Formal program construction (formal specification of sequential and concurrent programs; analysis, verification and transformation of programs, etc.), * Algorithms and data structures (sequential, parallel, distributed, on-line, probabilistic, etc.), * Computational complexity, * Automata theory, * Graph theory, * Symbolic and algebraic computation. The expected contributions will describe original results as well as undergoing research and development projects on theoretical computer science coming from academy and industry. Papers will be refereed by the International Program Committee, based on the following: * Papers reporting research / experimental results: these papers must present previously unpublished results and will be judged based on their originality, significance, relevance and clarity of presentation. Authors must submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages containing enough information to allow the referees to determine the merits of their work. It is also allowed to submit the full paper of up to 12 pages including figures and references. * Research projects: aiming to fostering the cooperation among national and foreign researchers, short papers describing ongoing research will be considered. Papers in this category may report already published results. In that case, the authors must include the corresponding references. * Industrial / Commercial applications: also relevant are papers describing applications of theoretical results to real-life situations. Short papers describing results that are both of significance for industry and that make novel or defying applications of theoretical results are sought. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: In order to facilitate the widest dissemination of the papers, authors are recommended the use of the English language. Nevertheless, papers in Spanish or Portuguese are also welcome. The deadline for submission of papers is May 3rd, 1999. Papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript format (ghostview-readable) to the e-mail address: wait99@sol.info.unlp.edu.ar Authors must send in a separate message in ASCII format the following: title of the paper, name and affiliation of all the authors, their e-mail addresses, phone and FAX numbers, an abstract of their contribution of at most ten lines, a list of keywords that best describe the paper, and also the category within which the paper is to be evaluated. Alternative ways for paper submission are possible and must be discussed with the workshop co-chairs. The format for camera-ready papers will be announced with the letter of acceptance.
