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
