Special Issue on Automata: from Mathematics to Applications

This special issue is dedicated to the AutoMathA conference which was held in Liège in June 2009 thanks to the programme AutoMathA of the European Science Foundation. This five-year multidisciplinary programme (2005-2010), at the crossroads of mathematics, theoretical computer science and applications, gathers 14 European countries. The topics discussed in the submission should be related to the main topics of the conference. They ranged from the mathematical foundations of automata theory to the more recent applications. All areas covered by the AutoMathA programme are welcome: automata models, fundamental aspects of the theory of automata as well as applications.

Peer Review Process

Submissions to DMTCS undergo a scientific peer review process that is initiated and organized by an editor. The first stage of this review process is to decide whether or not the submission fits well into the scope of DMTCS and to estimate if there are chances for it to be accepted.
The purpose of the reviewing process is then to eventually improve the submission, correct eventual flaws and come to a final decision of whether or not the manuscript is accepted for publication.
The reviewing is done by anonymous referees, that provide their feedback to the authors and the editors via detailed reports. These reports must in particular clearly state the decision that is proposed and give the reasons for which the referee has come to her or his conclusion.
For rejection a single but well justified report is sufficient.
For acception two well justified reports or one report and a well founded opinion of the editor is necessary.

 

Publication Frequency

Author's manuscripts are published as soon as they have been accepted and are be available internationally via the Internet. Due to the combined efforts of our authors (who typeset their final document with our LaTeX style) and our volunteers (who do the final layout) the time between acceptance and final publication has a median below 2 weeks.

 

Open Access Policy

DMTCS is a community effort, run by volunteers. Therefore access to DMTCS is free of charge.
Other than contributing your work (articles, reports, assistance), you may also contribute to our modest expences by making a donation.
