Electronic Submission is open !! ------------------------------------------------------------ STACS'2000 is the 17th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science. Scope: Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Typical areas include (but are not limited to): - Algorithms and data structures, including: parallel and distributed algorithms, computational geometry, cryptography, algorithmic learning theory; - Automata and formal languages; - Computational and structural complexity; - Logic in computer science, including: semantics, specification, and verification of programs, rewriting and deduction; - Current challenges, for example: theory, models, and algorithms for biological computing, quantum computing, mobile and net computing. Submissions: Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper (5-12 pages, the title page must contain a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above). The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix. Electronic submission is highly recommended. Detailed information is available on the web site http://www.lifl.fr/stacs2000/ In case of problems with access to internet, it is possible to submit 6 copies of the draft (plus 1 copy of the appendix) and 15 copies of a one page abstract to the chairperson of the program committee. Important dates: - Deadline for submission: September 5 , 1999 - Notification to authors: November 5 , 1999 - Final version: November 29 , 1999 - Symposium: February 17--19, 2000 Invited Speakers: - T.
