grammars and acceptors
for strings, graphs, arrays; efficient text algorithms; 
combinatorial and algebraic properties of languages; decision problems; relations 
to complexity theory and logic;  picture description and analysis;
cryptography; concurrency; DNA and quantum computing.    
       
     
 Authors are invited to submit papers (at most 12 pages)
