ICALP and Satellite Workshops

ICALP   Satellite Workshops

International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP)

The International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (or "ICALP") is the main conference and annual meeting of the EATCS. It is an international conference covering all aspects of theoretical computer science and now customarily taking place during the second or third week of July.

As is the case of the two tracks of the journal Theoretical Computer Science, the scientific program of the Colloquium is split into two parts: Track A of the meeting will correspond to Algorithms, Automata, Complexity, and Games, while Track B to Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming. Typical topics discussed during recent ICALP conferences are: computability, automata theory, formal language theory, analysis of algorithms, computational complexity, mathematical aspects of programming language definition, logic and semantics of programming languages, foundations of logic programming, theorem proving, software specification, computational geometry, data types and data structures, theory of data bases and knowledge based systems, cryptography, VLSI structures, parallel and distributed computing, models of concurrency and robotics.

EATCS presents annually the Best EATCS Paper Award and Best Student ICALP Paper Award, which are both awarded at ICALP. Moreover, jointly with ACM SIGACT, EATCS awards annually the Gödel Prize for outstanding papers in the area of theoretical computer science, and the presentation taking place alternately at ICALP and ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing (STOC).

A brief history of the ICALP conferences and workshops follows below.

Satellite Workshops

To collocate with ICALP, satellite workshops are an opportunity to explore special topics. Usually, simultaneous submissions to the workshops and to other conferences with published proceedings are not allowed except to ICALP with the understanding that if the paper is accepted to ICALP then the paper will have to be withdrawn from the appropriate workshop.
