Authors are invited to submit an electronic version (Postscript or
pdf) by April 3, 2007. An extended abstract should start with the
title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a
one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The extended abstract
should provide sufficient details to allow the Program Committee to
evaluate its validity, quality, and relevance to the conference. The
extended abstract should be at most ten (10) pages long using 11-point
font with ample margins. If appropriate, proof details omitted in the
paper may be added in an appendix. Precise instructions concerning the
submission procedure will be provided later on the CIAA 2007 web site
http://www.stringology.org/event/CIAA2007. We expect the proceedings
to appear in the Springer-Verlag Lectures Notes in Computer Science
series (pending approval). (See, for example, LNCS 3845 and LNCS 4094
for the proceedings of two previous conferences.) Extended versions of
selected papers from the proceedings of the conference series will be
solicited for publication in a special issue of Theoretical Computer
Science (TCS) and International Journal of Foundations of Computer
Science (IJFCS), alternating each year with the CIAA 2007 special
issue appearing in TCS. There will be a Best Paper Award (USD$300) for
CIAA 2007, which is sponsored by the University of California at Santa
Barbara.
