AIMS: 

LATA is a conference series on theoretical computer science
and its applications. Following the tradition of the diverse PhD
training events in the field developed at Rovira i VirgiliUniversity in
Tarragona since 2002, LATA 2016 will reserve significant room for young
scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting
contributions from classical theory fields as well as application areas.

VENUE: 

LATA 2016 will take place in Prague, a city full of
history and cultural attractions, and one of the political and economic
cores of central Europe. The venue will be the campus of the
CzechTechnicalUniversity in the Dejvice quarter. 

SCOPE: 

Topics
of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited
to: 

algebraic language theory 

algorithms for semi-structured data
mining 

algorithms on automata and words
