Submissions: We invite submissions on the following topics (as well as related fields): * results on distance automata and related models * applications to language theory * applications to logic * applications to databases * applications to game theory Submissions in the form of an abstract of at most two pages should be sent to the organizers, at distance@mimuw.edu.pl Funding: The workshop is supported by the ESF programme AutoMathA, as well as the ESF programme Games. From our limited budget, we will try to provide funding for participants from countries involved in these projects.Please refer to the webpage for latest details.
