Automate, Turing's World, FinITE, INR, and Grail. Developers of such systems have not had a forum in which to expose and compare their work. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together members of the academic, research, and industrial community who have an interest in implementing automata, to demonstrate their work and explain the problems they have been solving. We solicit papers on all aspects of implementing automata, including but not limited to: * the design and architecture of automata software * symbolic manipulation environments for automata * new algorithms for manipulating automata * complexity of automata operations * data structure design for automata * experimental studies and practical experiences * uses of automata in industrial applications * techniques for graphical display of automata * uses of automata in teaching * standards for representation, testing, and comparison of software Authors are requested to submit six copies of a manuscript, not to exceed 20 pages, by April 15, 1996. Referees' comments will be returned by May 30. Camera-ready copies must be submitted by July 1. Papers should be submitted to: WIA Department of Computer Science University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5B7 We also encourage the submission of software demos. Developers wishing to demonstrate their software should submit a two-page description outlining the design of their system and their computing needs (if any).
