Weighted Automata: Theory and Applications
Dresden University of Technology, June 1 - 5, 2004
The workshop will cover all aspects of weighted automata, ranging from the theory of formal power series to max-plus- algebra and applications as e.g. in digital image processing or algebraic optimization of networks. The aim is to present tutorials and survey lectures by outstanding scientists in this area. Moreover, we encourage everybody to participate in this workshop and present their own technical contribution in this area.
Tutorials: P. Butkovic (Birmingham) U. Montanari (Pisa) J. Kari (Iowa City) J. Sakarovitch (Paris)
Survey lectures: J. Albert (Wuerzburg) F. Katritzke (Siegen) S. Bozapalidis (Thessaloniki) W. Kuich (Wien) Z. Esik (Szeged) M. Mohri (AT&T, New Jersey) P. Gastin (Paris) L. Staiger (Halle)
All lecturers are asked to give a survey on their field of interest followed by recent research results.
Submission: If you wish to present a technical contribution, please send us an abstract (preferably of at most one page) before February 15, 2004. Authors will be informed about acceptance of their submission before March 15, 2004.
There will be a special issue of the Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics (JALC) on the topic of this workshop. The deadline for submission of papers is July 15, 2004. All submissions will be refereed according to the usual journal standards.
Registration: Interested participants are most welcome. There are no conference fees. Participants from central/eastern european countries can apply for financial support.
Important Dates: deadline for submission of abstracts February 15, 2004 notification of acceptance March 15, 2004 registration April 1, 2004 submission of papers July 15, 2004
