DLT, the International Conference on Developments in Language Theory is an academic conference in the field of computer science held annually under the auspices of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. Like most theoretical computer science conferences its contributions are strongly peer-reviewed; the articles appear in proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Extended versions of selected papers of each year's conference appear in international journals, such as Theoretical Computer Science and International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science.

Topics of the conference

Typical topics include:

  • grammars, acceptors and transducers for words, trees and graphs
  • algebraic theories of automata
  • algorithmic, combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages
  • variable length codes
  • symbolic dynamics
  • cellular automata
  • polyominoes and multidimensional patterns
  • decidability questions
  • image manipulation and compression
  • efficient text algorithms
  • relationships between formal language theory and cryptography, concurrency, complexity theory and logic
  • bio-inspired computing and quantum computing

History of the Conference

The DLT conference series was established by Grzegorz Rozenberg and Arto Salomaa in 1993. Since 2010, the Steering Committee chairman is Juhani Karhumäki.
