------------------------------Final Call For Papers---------------------------------------------------- We apologize for the reception of multiple copies of this message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- ICALP2003 Thirtieth International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 30 - July 4, 2003 The 30th annual meeting of the European Association of Theoretical Computer Science will be held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. As with the journal Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), the scientific program of the Colloquium will be split into two parts: Track A of the meeting will cover Algorithms, Automata, Complexity and Games, while Track B covers Logic, Semantics and Theory of Programming. Topic of interest include but are not limited to: * Track A Algebra & circuits, Approximation algorithms, Combinatorial optimization, Computational biology, Computational geometry, Evolutionary algorithms, Distributed computing, Graph and network algorithms, Molecular computing, Neural networks, Online algorithms, Quantum computing, Randomized algorithms, Routing, Scheduling, Sorting & searching, String algorithms; * Track B Applied logic, Concurrency, Deduction, Hybrid systems, Lambda calculus, Language theory, Logic, Logic of programs, Model checking, Probabilistic systems, Process algebra, Regular Languages, Rewriting, Semantics, Specification & verification, Theorem proving, Theory of programming, Type theory. Submissions Authors are invited to submit a paper presenting original contributions to the theory of computer science. Submissions should consist of: a cover page, with the author's full name, address, fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract, keywords and to which track (A or B) the paper is being submitted. At least one author of an accepted paper should be available to present it at the conference. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Electronic submission of papers through the conference website is the preferred method of submission, see http://www.win.tue.nl/icalp2003/. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Hence, authors are encouraged to use the LNCS-style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for instructions). The standard format of an ICALP submission has a textheight of at most 21cm and a textwidth of at most 15cm. The font is 10pt (and for LaTeX-users, the textsize is \normalsize, not \small). A submission has at most 12 pages, possibly followed by an appendix of at most 8 pages. The appendix may contain sketches of long proofs and additional material, but the contribution of the paper must be understandable without reading the appendix. Papers that deviate substantially from this standard format will be rejected.

There will be workshops related to track A as well as workshops related to Track B of ICALP. A preliminary list of satelite events is available on the ICALP 2003 website. In the week preceding ICALP (June 24-27), two more international conferences in computer science are organized by the TU/e: the 4th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets, ATPN 2003 (http://www.tue.nl/atpn2003/), and the Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2003 (http://tmitwww.tm.tue.nl/bpm2003/).
