                   15th International Conference on
                    Developments in Language Theory

***********************************************************************

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original research results
on formal languages, automata theory, and related areas.

Typical research areas of the conference include but are not limited to:

    * Grammars, acceptors and transducers for words, trees and graphs;
    * Algebraic theories of automata; codes; symbolic dynamics;
    * Algorithmic, combinatorial and algebraic properties of words
      and languages;
    * Decidability questions;
    * Applications of language theory, including: natural computing,
      image manipulation and compression, text algorithms, cryptography,
      concurrency, complexity theory and logic;
    * Cellular automata and multidimensional patterns;
    * Language theory aspects of quantum computing and bio-computing

Papers should not exceed 12 pages and should be formatted according to
the usual LNCS article style. Proofs omitted due to space constraints
can be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members
at their discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk
rejection. Papers must be submitted electronically through the web page:
