LATA 2020 will take place in Milan, the third largest economy among European cities and one of the Four Motors for Europe.
��
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
grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, unification, categorial, etc.)
