         !! DEAD-LINE: September 5 !!
------------------------------------------------------------

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unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science.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

Proceedings:

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag). Simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not
allowed.

Grants:

We expect to receive TMR grants from the EU commission to be able to
support young researchers (age below 40 for female and below 35 for
male) from EU countries or associated countries attending the
conference.  Detailed information is available on e-mail request.
