6 - 10 March 2016
Hôtel les Sources, Les Diablerets, Switzerland
This conference will bring together mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists working in semigroup and group theory, complexity theory and formal language theory.
The formal language characterization of solutions of equations in various algebraic structures will be at the center of the workshop, as will be the time and space complexity of algorithms which solve such equations. We hope that the recent developments in the area in theoretical computer science will lead to an improved understanding of the algebraic structure of the solutions sets of equations.
