Call for Papers

Prague, Czech Republic, August 26-28, 2019

—————————————————————————

PSC 2019 is the 23rd Prague Stringology Conference. It is an international

conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized

annually since 1996 by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group

in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of

Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The

proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Thomson Reuters,

Scopus and DBLP.

TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the

processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years

and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty

years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due

in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms

make important contributions. String processing extends into tree

processing that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference

include but are not limited to:

* algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees

* data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching

in strings, images and trees

* coding and data compression

* bioinformatics

* information retrieval

* string processing algorithms in databases

* searching for regularities

* natural language processing

INVITED TALK:

* TBA

SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,

up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 12, 2019. The paper should start

with the title, each author’s name, affiliation, and e-mail address,

and a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should

be submitted via submission server

(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2019).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using

the LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2

which has an interface compatible to the standard LNCS style.

HISTORY:

PSC 2019 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and

by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2018. Each year

proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by

Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the

PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also

published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected

papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the

Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and

Combinatorics, International Journal of Foundations in Computer

Science, and Discrete Applied Mathematics.

LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC 2019 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science

the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 26-28, 2019.

(The precise location will be announced later.) The working

language is English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in

conference proceedings published by the Czech Technical University in

Prague and distributed at the conference. After further refereeing,

selected papers will then be published in an international journal.
