June 21 -- 24, 2021, Seoul, South Korea
http://toc.yonsei.ac.kr/dcfs2021/
========================================================
The conference is organized by the Department of Computer Science of Yonsei University,
and by the IFIP Working Group 1.02 "Descriptional Complexity".
IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper submission deadline: Feb. 15, 2021
- Author notification: March 20, 2021
- Camera-ready deadline: April 1, 2021

TOPICS
Submissions concerning the descriptional complexity of formal systems
and structures (and its applications) are invited for DCFS 2021.
Original papers are sought in all aspects of descriptional complexity,
topics include, but are not limited to:
- Automata, grammars, languages and other formal systems; various modes
of operations and complexity measures.
- Succinctness of description of objects, state-explosion-like phenomena.
- Circuit complexity of Boolean functions and related measures.
- Size complexity of formal systems.
- Structural complexity of formal systems.
- Trade-offs between computational models and mode of operation.
- Applications of formal systems -- for instance in software and
hardware testing, in dialogue systems, in systems modeling
or in modeling natural languages -- and their complexity constraints.
- Co-operating formal systems.
- Size or structural complexity of formal systems for modeling
natural languages.
- Complexity aspects related to the combinatorics of words.
- Descriptional complexity in resource-bounded or structure-bounded
environments.
- Structural complexity as related to descriptional complexity.
- Frontiers between decidability and undecidability.
- Universality and reversibility.
- Nature-motivated (bio-inspired) architectures and unconventional models
of computing.
- Blum Static (Kolmogorov/Chaitin) complexity, algorithmic information.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions to DCFS must not exceed 12 pages in Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes style including bibliography. If the authors believe
that more details are essential to substantiate the main claims,
they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read
at the discretion of the program committee. Simultaneous submissions
of papers to any other conference with published proceedings or submitting
previously published papers is not allowed. Only electronic submissions
in the PDF format are accepted. Information about the submission
procedure will be available on the conference web page in due time.
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the series
Lecture Notes in Computer Science. In addition, a special issue
of International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science
will be devoted to revised and extended versions of selected papers of the conference.
