Upon several requests we have extended the deadline for submissions to the
Workshop on "Descriptional Complexity of Automata, Grammars and Related
Structures" in Magdeburg (Germany), July 20-23, 1999,
to April 29, 1999.
We send you in the enclosure the complete Call for Papers with the new
deadline for submissions.
The Workshop on "Descriptional Complexity of Automata, Grammars and
Related Structures" starts five days after ICALP '99 ends in Prague
(appr. 300 km from Magdeburg) and one day after WIA '99 ends in
Potsdam (100 km east of Magdeburg).
Magdeburg, which was founded 1200 years ago, is the capital of the German
state of Saxony-Anhalt and is situated appr. 120 km west of Berlin on the
banks of the river Elbe. Magdeburg is the site of the oldest German Gothic
cathedral, is the start and end point of the "Romanesque Road" (taking you
to many Romanesque buildings and being one of the historic main attractions
of Saxony-Anhalt), is famous for its parks and gardens and is the host of
the German Federal Garden Show '99 (which is part of the social program of
the workshop).
We invite you to participate in and to contribute to the workshop.

Workshop
DESCRIPTIONAL COMPLEXITY OF AUTOMATA, GRAMMARS
AND RELATED STRUCTURES
July 20-23, 1999, Magdeburg, Germany
The Workshop on "Descriptional Complexity of Automata, Grammars and
Related Structures" is being organized by the IFIP Working Group 1.2
Descriptional Complexity and the Otto von Guericke University of
Magdeburg and will take place in Magdeburg which is the 1200 years old
capital of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Magdeburg is located 130 km
