This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International
Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications, LATA 2016, held in
Prague, Czech Republic, in March 2016.



The 42 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited talks were
carefully reviewed and selected from 119 submissions. The papers cover the
following topics: algebraic language theory; algorithms for semi-structured
data mining, algorithms on automata and words; automata and logic; automata for
system analysis and program verification; automata networks, concurrency and
Petri nets; automatic structures; cellular automata, codes, combinatorics on
words; computational complexity; data and image compression; descriptional
complexity; digital libraries and document engineering; foundations of finite
state technology; foundations of XML; fuzzy and rough languages; grammatical
inference and algorithmic learning; graphs and graph transformation; language
varieties and semigroups; parallel and regulated rewriting; parsing; patterns;
string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and bioinformatics;
string processing algorithms; symbolic dynamics; term rewriting; transducers;
trees, tree languages and tree automata; weighted automata.
