CALL FOR PAPERS


on "Weighted Automata: Theory and Applications"
Special Issue of the Journal of Automata, Languages and Combinatorics



From March 27 to 31, 2006, there will be a workshop at Leipzig University, Germany, on "Weighted Automata: Theory and Applications".

The workshop should cover all aspects of weighted automata, ranging from the theory of formal power series to quantum automata and applications e.g. in digital image processing or model-checking of probabilistic systems.

For more information, see https://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/theo/wata06.html.

The Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics (JALC) has agreed to publish a special issue on this topic. Submissions related to this topic could be either survey articles or research papers and will be refereed as usual. Participation in the above workshop is encouraged, but is not a prerequisite for a submission.

Authors are asked to submit their paper preferably in PostScript (or pdf) to both of the editors of the special issue:
