- automata theory and formal languages

- combinatorial algorithms

- combinatorial optimization

- combinatorics and graph theory

- complexity theory

- distributed computing

- fixed-parameter algorithms, including FPT-approximation algorithms

- foundations of data science and theoretical machine learning

- online algorithms

- quantum computing

- randomized algorithms



SUBMISSION


Submissions are limited to fifteen (15) single-column letter-size pages in Springer LNCS format

(see LNCS author guidelines at http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines (http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)).

This page limit includes figures and references, but it does not include an optional appendix. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in the appendix, which will be read by the program committee members at their discretion. In particular, appendices of accepted papers are not going to be published in the proceedings. The main part of the submission should therefore contain a clear technical presentation of the merits of the paper, including a discussion of the paper’s importance within the context of prior work and a description of the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims.

The conference employs a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should ensure that any references to their own related work is in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”). Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, references should not be omitted or anonymized.

Papers are submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system:


https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latin2024


Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously published papers, is not allowed. Papers must be written in English. For each accepted paper at least one author must register and attend the symposium (in person) to present it. Moreover, an author cannot register for multiple papers. That is, each accepted paper must have its own registrant.



PROCEEDINGS


Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of LATIN, which will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs (http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs)).
