ICALP 2012
39th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming

9-13 July 2012, University of Warwick, UK
Supported by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS)

The 39th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and
Programming (ICALP 2012), the main conference and annual meeting of
the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS),
will take place on 9-13 July 2012 at the University of Warwick, UK.

The main conference will be preceded by a series of Workshops, taking
place on Sunday 8 July 2012 (i.e., one day before ICALP).

Workshop proposals are invited for workshops on topics related to all
aspects of theoretical computer science. (A workshop may relate to any
of the three tracks of ICALP, but workshop proposals related to other
aspects of theoretical computer science will be considered as well.)
Typically, ICALP workshops feature a number of invited speakers and a
number of contributed presentations. ICALP workshops do not
necessarily produce formal proceedings. However, in the past there
have been, e.g., LNCS proceedings or special issues of journals based
in part on some ICALP workshops. Workshop proposals should be no
longer than two pages and should include:

* Title of the workshop

* Person responsible for the workshop (name + email address)

* A short scientific summary and justification of the proposed topic.
This should include a discussion of the particular benefits of the
topic to the ICALP community.

* A discussion of the proposed format and agenda

* The proposed duration (how many hours of program)

* Procedures for selecting participants and papers

* Expected number of participants

* If the workshop has taken place before, please provide the
following information:

- How often the workshop has taken place so far
- Which conference(s) the workshop has been collocated with so far
- The web address of the last workshop, if available
- How many participants took part in the last workshop

* Potential invited speakers

* Plans for dissemination (for example, journal special issues)

Proposals are due on 18 December 2011, and should be submitted by email
to the Conference Chair at <icalp2012@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.
Notifications will be sent by 31 December 2011.
