                     Conference: July 9-13, 2007
           Affiliated Workshops: July 8, 9, 14, and 15, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The 34th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages  and  Programming,
the main conference and annual meeting  of  the  European  Association  for
Theoretical Computer Science EATCS will take place  from  the  9th  to  the
13th of July 2007 in Wroclaw, Poland.  This year  the  conference  will  be
colocated with  the  22nd  Annual  IEEE  Symposium  on  Logic  in  Computer
Science (LICS  2007),  Logic  Colloquium  2007,  and  the  9th  ACM-SIGPLAN
International  Symposium  on  Principles  and   Practice   of   Declarative
Programming (PPDP 2007).

Following the successful experience of  the  last  two  years,  ICALP  2007
will  complement  the  established  structure  of  the  scientific  program
based  on  Track  A  on  Algorithms,  Automata,   Complexity   and   Games,
and Track B on Logic, Semantics, and Theory of  Programming,  corresponding
to the two main  streams  of  the  journal  Theoretical  Computer  Science,
with  a  special  Track  C  on  Security  and   Cryptography   Foundations.
The aim of Track C is to allow a deeper coverage  of  a  particular  topic,
selected for each year's edition of ICALP on the basis  of  its  timeliness
and relevance for the theoretical computer science community.

Papers presenting original research on all aspects of theoretical  computer
science are sought. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are:


  Track A - Algorithms, Automata, Complexity and Games:
  PC Chair: Lars Arge, University of Aarhus, Denmark

  * Algorithmic Aspects of Networks

  * Computational Complexity
  * Computational Geometry
  * Data Structures
  * Design and Analysis of Algorithms
  * Internet Algorithmics
  * Machine Learning
  * Parallel, Distributed and External Memory Computing
  * Quantum Computing 

  Track B - Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming:
  PC Chair: Andrzej Tarlecki, Warsaw University, Poland

  * Algebraic and Categorical Models
  * Automata and Formal Languages
  * Emerging and Non-standard Models of Computation
  * Databases, Semi-Structured Data and Finite Model Theory
  * Principles of Programming Languages
  * Logics, Formal Methods and Model Checking
  * Models of Concurrent, Distributed, and Mobile Systems
  * Models of Reactive, Hybrid and Stochastic Systems
  * Program Analysis and Transformation
  * Specification, Refinement and Verification

  Track C - Security and Cryptography Foundations:
  PC Chair: Christian Cachin, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland

  * Cryptographic Notions, Mechanisms, Systems and Protocols
  * Cryptographic Proof Techniques, Lower bounds, Impossibilities
  * Foundations of Secure Systems and Architectures
  * Logic and Semantics of Security Protocols
  * Number Theory and Algebraic Algorithms in Cryptography
  * Pseudorandomness, Randomness, and Complexity Issues

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
*********************
Authors are invited to submit  an  extended  abstract  presenting  original
research.  The abstract should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages  including
title and abstract, but excluding bibliography and appendices, should be in
single-column format, use at least  11-point  fonts,  and  have  reasonable
margins.  If the  authors  believe  that  more  details  are  essential  to
substantiate the main claims of the  paper,  they  may  include  a  clearly
marked appendix that  will  be  read  at  the  discretion  of  the  program
committee.  Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines  risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submissions should indicate to which track  (A,  B,  or  C)  the  paper  is
submitted. No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either
a conference or a journal) is allowed.

Information on how to submit a paper will be available by January 1st, 2007
at http://icalp07.ii.uni.wroc.pl/
