AIMS:
LATA is a conference series on theoretical computer science and
its applications. LATA 2020 & 2021 will reserve significant
room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will
aim at attracting contributions from classical theory fields as
well as application areas.
LATA 2020 & 2021 will merge the scheduled program for LATA
2020, which could not take place because of the Covid-19 crisis,
with a new series of papers submitted on this occasion.
VENUE:
LATA 2020 & 2021 will be held in Milan, the third largest
economy among European cities and one of the Four Motors for
Europe. The venue will be:
University of Milano-Bicocca
Viale Piero e Alberto Pirelli 22
Building U6
Aula Mario Martini (Aula U6-04)
Milan
SCOPE:
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are
not limited to:
algebraic language theory
algorithms for semi-structured data mining
algorithms on automata and words
automata and logic
automata for system analysis and programme verification
automata networks
automatic structures
codes
combinatorics on words
computational complexity
concurrency and Petri nets
data and image compression
descriptional complexity
foundations of finite state technology
foundations of XML
