The 28th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming will be organized back to back with the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC, July 6-8, 2001). Also, the Thirteenth Annual ACM Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '01, July 4-6, 2001) will be organized two days before the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their papers, presenting original contributions to the theory of computer science. Papers should be submitted electronically (in Postscript) using the ICALP 2001 Submissions Server: http://www.cs.uu.nl/CSCS/ICALP-2001.html following the instructions given there. Authors from countries where access to Internet is difficult should contact the conference chair. Submissions should consist of: a cover page, with the author's full name, address, fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract, keywords and to which track (A or B) the paper is being submitted and an extended abstract describing original research. Papers should not be exceeding 12 pages in the standard LNCS-style. Authors should indicate whether they wish their paper to be considered for the Best Student Paper Award. It is expected that accepted papers will be presented at the conference. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.
