Submission instructions: Authors should submit an extended abstract
(not a full paper).
The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas,
techniques, and results,
including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. The
length of the extended
abstract should not exceed ten (10) letter-sized pages (not including
bibliography and
appendices.) Submitted papers must describe work not previously
published. They must
not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed
proceedings.
Research that is already submitted to a journal may be submitted to
TAMC13, provided
that (a) the PC chair is notified in advance that this is the case,
and (b) it is not scheduled
for journal publication before the conference.

Proceedings: The TAMC proceedings will be published in the Lecture
Notes in Computer
Science Series by Springer (http://www.springer.com/lncs). Authors of
accepted papers are
expected to present their work at the conference. Special issues of
the journals
Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Structures in Computer
Science devoted
to a selected set of accepted papers of the conference are planned.
