LATIN'95 is the follow-up of LATIN'92, an International Symposium on
Theoretical Computer Science created to promote Theoretical Computer
Science research in Latin America. Further symposia held in different
Latin American countries are expected.
The first event, held in S~ao Paulo, was sponsored by the Instituto
de Matem'atica e Estat'istica da Universidade de S~ao Paulo in April,
1992. The second one, LATIN'95, will be organized by the University
of Chile at Santiago, Univ. T'ecnica Federico Santa Mar'ia (UTFSM) at
Valpara'iso/Vi~na del Mar, and P. Univ. Cat'olica at Santiago.
Papers presenting original research on all aspects of the areas of
Automata, Algorithms and Complexity are being sought.
Typical topics include:
. Algorithms and Data Structures
. Automata and Formal Languages
. Computability and Complexity Theory
. Computational Geometry
. Cryptography
. Parallel and Distributed Computation
. Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
. Combinatorial and Algebraic Aspects of Computer Science
The papers will be selected by the following Program Committee:
Ricardo Baeza-Yates (U. of Chile, Co-chair) Arnaldo Moura (IBM, Brazil)
Leopoldo Bertossi (Catholic Univ., Chile) J.Ian Munro (Waterloo, Canada)
Svante Carlsson (Lulea, Sweden) Gene Myers (Arizona, USA)
Walter Cunto (IBM, Venezuela) Maurice Nivat (Paris, France)
Josep Diaz (Barcelona, Spain) Andrew Odlyzko (Bell Labs, USA)
Volker Diekert (Stuttgart, Germany) Ren'e Peralta (Wisconsin, USA)
Vladimir Estivill-Castro (LANIA, Mexico) Dominique Perrin (Paris, France)
Joachim von zur Gathen (Toronto, Canada) Patricio Poblete (U. of Chile)
Eric Goles (U. of Chile, Co-chair) Gregory Rawlins (Indiana, USA)
Gast'on Gonnet (ETH, Switzerland) Antonio Restivo (Palermo, Italy)
Jozef Gruska (Bratislava, Slovakia) Grzegorz Rozenberg (Leiden, Neths.)

The preliminary list of invited speakers include Alberto Apostolico
(Purdue & Padova), Josep Diaz (Barcelona) and Steve Smale (Berkeley).
Authors are cordially invited to submit papers in two parts. The first
part, directed to a non-specialist, consists of 8 copies of a one or
two page abstract (maximum of 1000 words) clearly stating the problem,
the main results obtained, an explanation of their significance, and a
comparison to previous work. The second part, directed to a specialist,
consists of 4 copies of an extended abstract of six to ten pages
(maximum of 5000 words), excluding references and figures. The title
page should specify the contact author's name, address, phone number,
fax number, and e-mail address, whenever available. All material
submitted should be in English. From places where copier machines are
not readily available one copy of each part is acceptable.
Submissions should be sent by airmail (courier mail is STRONGLY
recommended) to one of the Program Committee Chairs:

E-mail: latin95@dcc.uchile.cl FAX: +(56) (2) 671-2799
The symposium will consist of approximately 6 invited lectures and of
contributed papers. We intend to publish the Symposium Proceedings in
the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as in 1992.
The final copy of accepted papers for the Proceedings will be required
in camera-ready form. We plan to have one day (April 7th) for specific
workshops. Any person interested in organizing one should contact one
of the program chairs. In particular, the 2nd South-American Workshop
on String Processing will be held that day.
Vi~na del Mar is a beach resort accessible by air, bus or car at a
distance of 110 kms from Santiago. If you need further information or
you wish to let LATIN'95 know that you intend to submit a paper, send
your name, affiliation, postal and e-mail addresses as well as the area
of your intended paper to latin95@dcc.uchile.cl or mail these data to
one of the addresses above.
Important dates: all deadlines are FIRM
Deadline for reception of submission in Santiago September 1, 1994
Notification of acceptance or rejection November 2, 1994
Deadline for reception of final text in Santiago January 2, 1995
