The 26th edition of DCFS is organized by the Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science of Santa Clara University, USA and by the IFIP
Working Group 1.02 "Descriptional Complexity".
INVITED SPEAKERS
1. Michaël Cadilhac (DePaul University, USA)
2. Ian McQuillan (University of Saskatchewan, Canada)
3. Bala Ravikumar (Sonoma State University, USA)
TOPICS
Original research papers concerning the descriptional complexity of
formal systems and structures (and its applications) are sought. Topics
include, but are not limited to:
Automata, grammars, languages and other formal systems; various modes
of operations and complexity measures.
Succinctness of description of objects, state-explosion-like phenomena.
Circuit complexity of Boolean functions and related measures.
Size complexity of formal systems.
Structural complexity of formal systems.
Trade-offs between computational models and mode of operation.
Applications of formal systems -- for instance in software and
hardware testing, in dialogue systems, in systems modeling or in
modeling natural languages -- and their complexity constraints.
Co-operating formal systems.
Size or structural complexity of formal systems for modeling natural
languages.
Complexity aspects related to the combinatorics of words.
Descriptional complexity in resource-bounded or structure-bounded
environments.
Structural complexity as related to descriptional complexity.
Frontiers between decidability and undecidability.
Universality and reversibility.
Nature-motivated (bio-inspired) architectures and unconventional
models of computing.
Blum Static (Kolmogorov/Chaitin) complexity, algorithmic information.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions to DCFS must not exceed 12 pages in Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes style including bibliography. If the authors believe that
more details are essential to substantiate the main claims, they may
include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of
the program committee. Simultaneous submissions of papers to any other
conference with published proceedings or submitting previously published
papers is not allowed. Papers should be submitted electronically as a
PDF document to
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcfs24.
After logging in to your EasyChair account, select the "New Submission"
menu item on the top of the page. If you do not have an EasyChair
account, follow the instructions on the login page. The proceedings
will be published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in
Computer Science. In addition, a special issue of Journal of Automata,
Languages, and Combinatorics will be devoted to revised and extended
versions of selected papers of the conference.
