FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS:

Latin American Theoretical INformatics (LATIN 2014)
March 31-April 4, 2014, Montevideo, Uruguay
==============================================================================

A series of Symposia in Theoretical Computer Science was launched in 1992, to
be held in Latin America: LATIN (Latin American Theoretical INformatics). This
is the eleventh event of the series, after Sao Paulo, Brazil (1992),
Valparaiso, Chile (1995), Campinas, Brazil (1998), Punta del Este, Uruguay
(2000), Cancun, Mexico (2002), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2004), Valdivia,
Chile (2006), Buzios, Brazil (2008), Oaxaca, Mexico (2010), and Arequipa,
Peru (2012).

We seek papers presenting original research in theoretical computer science,
including, but not limited to: algorithms (approximation, online, randomized,
algorithmic game theory, etc.), analytic combinatorics and analysis of
algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, coding theory and data
compression, combinatorial algorithms, combinatorial optimization,
combinatorics and graph theory, complexity theory, computational algebra,
computational biology, computational geometry, computational number theory,
cryptology, databases and information retrieval, data structures, formal
methods and security, Internet and the web, parallel and distributed
computing, pattern matching, programming language theory, and random
structures.

As for previous events, we expect the accepted extended abstracts to be
published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series.

---- SUBMISSION ----

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer than 12
pages (including the bibliography) on letter-size paper using at least 11-point
font in Springer LNCS format. If more space is needed, a clearly marked
appendix, to be read at the discretion of the program committee, may be
included if desired. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference
with published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously published
papers, is not allowed. Instructions for electronic submissions will be posted
at the conference web site,

---- CONFIRMED PLENARY SPEAKERS ----

Gilles Barthe, IMDEA Software Institute.
Ian Munro, University of Waterloo.
Gonzalo Navarro, Universidad de Chile.
Ronitt Rubinfeld, MIT.
Robert Sedgewick, Princeton University.

---- IMPORTANT DATES ----

Submission: Sep. 22, 2013
Notification: Dec. 2, 2013
Final version: Dec. 20, 2013

---- IMRE SIMON TEST-OF-TIME AWARD ----

Starting in 2012, an award is given to the LATIN paper deemed to be most
influential among all those published at least ten years prior to the current
edition of the conference. Papers published in the LATIN proceedings up to and
including 2004 are eligible for the 2014 award.

---- LOCATION ----

Montevideo, a port city, the capital of Uruguay and home to its largest
University, the Universidad de la Republica, is a perfect destination for
travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along
beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the
wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad
Vieja, Montevideo?s oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and
theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and
Candombe music for crowds of dancers.
