[DMANET] LATIN 2014 - deadline Sep. 17

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.

Proceedings containing the accepted extended abstracts will be published
by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Printed versions will be available at the conference.

---- 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,

http://www.fing.edu.uy/eventos/latin2014.

The deadline for submissions is September 17, 2013 (firm deadline).
If needed, a short 1 page abstract of the paper can be submitted by
this deadline, and later the final extended abstract
can be submitted by September 22, 2013 (also firm deadline).
Neither short abstracts nor new extended abstracts submitted after
September 17 will be evaluated. Moreover, short abstracts not
replaced by their extended version before September 22, will neither be
evaluated.


---- 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 ----

Short abstract submission: Sep. 17, 2013
Final 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.
