CALL FOR PAPERS CATS'98 - Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium University of Western Australia Perth, Western Australia 2-3 February, 1998 CATS'98 will be held at the University of Western Australia as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW98) which also includes: . the Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC'98) . the Australasian Database Conference (ADC'98) . the Australasian Computer Architecture Conference (ACAC'98) Following on from CATS'94 in Sydney, CATS'96 in Melbourne, and CATS'97 in Sydney, CATS'98 aims at providing a forum for researchers in theoretical computer science. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include: - Algorithms and data structure - Category theory - Complexity - Computational algebra, biology, geometry, logic, and number theory - Concurrency - Distributed and parallel computing - Formal semantics, specification, synthesis, and verification Original research papers are solicited. Submissions to CATS'98 this year will be again conducted electronically, and should be sent in standard Postscript format to cats98@cs.uwa.edu.au by the submission deadline. Authors unable to access e-mail may send 4 hard copies of their papers to the program committee chair: Xuemin Lin -- CATS'98 Department of Computer Science University of Western Australia Crawley, Western Australia 6907 Australia E-mail: cats98@cs.uwa.edu.au http://www.cs.uwa.edu.au:80/~lxue/CATS98/index.html In both cases, confirmation of receipt will be given, in the case of a postscript submission, once the file has been successfully printed. Submissions should include an abstract, 3-6 key words, and the fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author. The contribution of the paper should be clearly explained in both general and technical terms, and authors should make every effort to ensure the technical content of their papers is understandable by a broad audience. The paper (an extended abstract or full paper) should not exceed 15 A4 pages using 11 point or larger font. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present the work. Papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium, which will appear in the DMTCS series of Springer-Verlag. ========================================= INVITED SPEAKERS: Ming Li (University of Waterloo, Canada) Takeshi Tokuyama (IBM, Japan) ========================================= IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline: Friday 15 August 1997.
