New Dates!: September 20-24, 2021

Deadlines (all at 23:59 CET)

AIMS

LATA is a conference series on theoretical computer science and its applications. LATA 2020 & 2021 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting contributions from classical theory fields as well as application areas.

LATA 2020 & 2021 will merge the scheduled program for LATA 2020, which could not take place because of the Covid-19 crisis, with a new series of papers submitted on this occasion.

VENUE

LATA 2020 & 2021 will be held in Milan, the third largest economy among European cities and one of the Four Motors for Europe. The venue will be:

  • University of Milano-Bicocca
  • Viale Piero e Alberto Pirelli 22
  • Building U6
  • Aula Mario Martini (Aula U6-04)
  • Milan

PUBLICATIONS

A volume of proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series will be available by the time of the conference.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

LNCS: LATA 2020-2021 -- Time-limited free online access

A special issue of Information and Computation (Elsevier, 2019 JCR impact factor: 0.872) will be later published containing peer-reviewed substantially extended versions of some of the papers contributed to the conference. Submissions to it will be by invitation.
