21-24 November 2010, Highlights of AutoMathA, Vienna, Austria

The conference "Highlights of AutoMathA" is the culmination of the activities of the Research Network "Automata: From Mathematics to Applications", joining top research teams from 14 countries and funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF).

In 18 survey lectures by leading experts, the current state-of-the-art of automata theory will be presented, with a focus on progress obtained during the past decade, both in foundations and applications, and addressing also the challenges that will guide future research. The conference is an ideal and unique venue for all who are interested in an up-to-date overview of this rich and fastly developing area.

For younger researchers the conference will serve as an "Advanced Winter School of Automata Theory". Limited travel support for young researchers (up to 30 year old) is available (up to 300 Euro per person). Applications should be sent to Werner Kuich, the head of the organizing committee (kuich at pop.tuwien.ac.at).
