It is held annually as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW). CATS 2002 will be the eighth in the series. The symposium will consist of invited speakers and research paper presentations. Date and location CATS 2002 will be held during the Australasian Computer Science Week. ACSW 2002 will take place at Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, from 28th January to 1st February, 2002. Scope CATS covers all aspects of theoretical computer science. Some representative, but not exclusive, topics include the following: o logic, reasoning and verification o formal specification techniques and program semantics o formal development methods, program refinement, synthesis and transformation o concurrent, parallel and distributed system theory o algorithms and data structures o complexity and computability o automata, number and category theory o tools for automated reasoning, and program analysis and development Research paper submissions to CATS 2002 should be prepared according to the formatting requirements below and sent to the Programme Chair, to arrive no later than Friday, 3rd August, 2001. Submissions must be original work, not published or submitted elsewhere. All submissions will be refereed. The proceedings of CATS 2002 will be published by Elsevier Science in their series Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/entcs) ENTCS is an electronic series associated with the journal Theoretical Computer Science, and published by Elsevier Science B. V. (Institutions subscribing to TCS can access full papers in ENTCS on-line.) ENTCS offers rapid, worldwide dissemination of research results, an absence of page limits, and long-term accessibility through the electronic archives that Elsevier maintains. The proceedings of CATS2000 and CATS2001 have both appeared in ENTCS as ENTCS Volume 31 (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/entcs/volume31.html) and ENTCS Volume 42 (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/entcs/volume42.html) respectively. A hardcopy preliminary proceedings will be provided to conference attendees. Formatting requirements To ensure a uniform format for papers, all submissions to CATS 2002 *must* be prepared in LaTeX using the ENTCS macros. Papers in other formats cannot be accepted. Further information is available via the ENTCS home page at http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/entcs. (Follow the links for "Instructions for Submissions" and "Technical Requirements".) Complete papers should be e-mailed as PostScript files, preferably as MIME attachments. Although there is no strict page limit on submissions to CATS 2002, authors are strongly encouraged to be as concise as possible. Papers between 10 and 15 pages are considered ideal. If necessary, definitions and proofs not essential to understanding the paper should be relegated to appendices to appear only in the electronic version. Call for Posters A poster session will be arranged to give CATS attendees the opportunity to give informal presentations of their work. Expressions of interest, briefly outlining the poster's topic, should be e-mailed to the Programme Chair (jah@cs.rmit.edu.au) by Friday 9th November, 2001. Important dates Friday 3rd August, 2001: Deadline for submissions Friday 5th October, 2001: Notification of acceptance Friday 26th October, 2001: Final versions of accepted papers due Friday 9th November, 2001: Deadline for author registrations Friday 9th November, 2001: Deadline for poster submissions Monday 28th January to Friday 1st February, 2002: Australasian Computer Science Week, incorporating CATS 2002 Programme Committee Asat Arslanov, Monash University, Australia.
