                                 ICALP2003

  Thirtieth International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming
                                  

             Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 30 - July 4, 2003

The 30th annual meeting of the European Association of Theoretical Computer
Science will be held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, at the Technische
Universiteit Eindhoven.


As with the journal Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), the scientific
program of the Colloquium will be split into two parts: Track A of the
meeting will cover Algorithms, Automata, Complexity and Games, while Track B
covers Logic, Semantics and Theory of Programming.

Topic of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Track A Algebra & circuits, Approximation algorithms, Combinatorial
     optimization, Computational biology, Computational geometry,
     Evolutionary algorithms, Distributed computing, Graph and network
     algorithms, Molecular computing, Neural networks, Online algorithms,
     Quantum computing, Randomized algorithms, Routing, Scheduling, Sorting
     & searching, String algorithms;
   * Track B Applied logic, Concurrency, Deduction, Hybrid systems, Lambda
     calculus, Language theory, Logic, Logic of programs, Model checking,
     Probabilistic systems, Process algebra, Regular Languages, Rewriting,
     Semantics, Specification & verification, Theorem proving, Theory of
     programming, Type theory.

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit a paper presenting original contributions to
the theory of computer science. 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.
At least one author of an accepted paper should be available to present it
at the conference. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with
published proceedings is not
allowed. Electronic submission of papers through the conference website is
encouraged, see http://www.win.tue.nl/icalp2003/. 

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as a volume
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Hence, authors are
encouraged to use the LNCS-style (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for instructions). The
standard format of an ICALP submission has a textheight of at most 21cm and
a textwidth of at most 15cm. The font is 11pt (and for LaTeX-users, the
textsize is \normalsize, not \small). A submission has at most 12 pages,
possibly followed by an appendix of at most 8 pages. The appendix may
contain sketches of long proofs and additional material, but the
contribution of the paper must be understandable without reading the
appendix. Papers that deviate substantially from this standard format will
be rejected.

Workshops and co-located events

In the weekends preceding and following ICALP several workshops that are of
interest to the EACTS-community will be held at the conference venue. There
will be workshops related to track A as well as workshops related to Track B
of ICALP. A preliminary list of satelite events will become available on the
ICALP 2003 website. In the week preceding ICALP (June 24-27), two more
international conferences in computer science are organized by the TU/e: the
4th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets, ATPN
2003 (http://www.tue.nl/atpn2003/), and the Conference on Business Process
Management, BPM 2003 (http://tmitwww.tm.tue.nl/bpm2003/).
