First Call for Papers

4th International Workshop on
Trends in Tree Automata and Tree Transducers (TTATT 2016)

http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/events/TTATT2016

July 18, 2016 in Seoul, South Korea
(co-located with CIAA 2016)

Tree automata and tree transducers have recently received increased attention due to their applications in verification, natural language processing, and XML. The workshop provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners from the different areas to discuss recent developments and ideas. The workshop also welcomes participants working on string automata and string transducers.

----------
| Topics |
----------
We encourage contributions from the following areas. Contributions outside these areas will be given due consideration.

- string and tree automata
- string and tree transducers
- extensions of those classical models
- relations to other formalisms
- applications of those formalisms

--------------
| Submission |
--------------
We invite all authors to submit extended abstracts (in PDF format) of their contributions, which can represent work-in-progress, original work, or recently published work. Submissions should be formatted according to the usual LNCS article style and should not exceed 6 pages (excluding the references). If additional space is needed, a clearly marked appendix can be added, but the results of the contribution should also be understandable without it. All submissions will be reviewed with the help of the program committee, providing expert feedback on your contribution. Revised versions of the accepted abstracts will be made available at the workshop and should be presented by one author.

Please submit your relevant extended abstract electronically via EasyChair to
