============================================================== We apologize for multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================== +--------------------+ | | | STACS 2002 | | | +--------------------+ 19th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science Antibes Juan-les-Pins, France March 14-16 2002 http://www.inria.fr/stacs2002 SCOPE: Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science.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, including: parallel and distributed algorithms, computational geometry, cryptography, algorithmic learning theory; * Automata and formal languages; * Computational and structural complexity; * Logic in computer science, including: semantics, specification, and verification of programs, rewriting and deduction; * Current challenges, for example: theory, models, and algorithms for biological computing, quantum computing, mobile and net computing. 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). The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Electronic submission is highly recommended. 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 chairperson of the program committee. Detailed information is available on the web site. IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for submission: September 14, 2001 Notification to authors: November 21, 2001 Final version: December 14, 2001 Symposium: March 14-16, 2002 PROCEEDINGS: Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag). Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. PROGRAM COMMITTEE: H. Alt (Berlin) Co-Chair H. Buhrman (Amsterdam) B. Chlebus (Warsaw) T. Erlebach (Zuerich) A.
