Proceedings

The CAI 2017 conference proceedings will be published in electronic form. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their work to a Special Issue of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier).

Topics

Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are:

Track 1: Automata Theory and Logic
Chair: Manfred Droste (Germany)
Invited Speaker: Heiko Vogler (TU Dresden, Germany)
Topics: This includes all topics of theoretical computer science
with connections to automata theory and logic in computer science,
in the broad sense.

A PC will select the 10% best submissions for a 'distinguished lecture'.  Authors will receive a
confirmation of this and will have more time than the usual talks.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit papers, presenting original and unpublished research. Submitted papers should not exceed 25 pages. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or journals is not allowed.
Submissions should be made to the appropriate track of the conference, by e-mail to the track Chairs. All proofs omitted due to space constraints should be given in an appendix or made accessible through a reliable link to a freely available electronic preprint.
