one of the two premier annual conferences in theoretical computer
science in the Asia-Pacific.


KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
----------------------------------
Ian Foster, Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, USA
Mark Guzdial, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA
Ronald Fagin, IBM Almaden, California, USA
Ross Anderson, Cambridge, UK

New! From CATS 2009! There will be a discussion track!

Accepted papers will be available online three months prior to the
conference.  Papers can be analysed and discussed online, so that the
time at the actual conference (in Wellington) can be utilised in a
much more productive manner.  For further information, see
http://velorum.ballarat.edu.au/~pmanyem/CATS09/discussion.html

Authors are invited to submit papers that present original and
unpublished research on topics including (but not limited to) the
following areas:  Algorithms and Data Structures, Complexity Theory,
Graph Theory, Graph Algorithms and Combinatorics, Semantics of
Programming Languages, Algorithms on Strings, Optimisation, Formal
Program Specification and Transformation, Computational Algebra and
Geometry, Computational Biology, Logic and Type systems, and New
Paradigms of Computation.


SUBMISSION
-------------------
The deadline for paper submission is August 29, 2008 (abstracts should
be submitted a week earlier).  Submissions should be made
electronically via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cats2009

See submission details at:

Submitted papers will be thoroughly refereed.  Accepted papers will
appear in the electronic proceedings at http://crpit.com.  Papers that
are presented at CATS will appear in the ACM Digital Library.  Full
details about the publication policy is available at the CRPIT website
(http://crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html and
http://crpit.com/AuthorsAccepted.html).
