The International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and
Programming (ICALP) is an annual conference series sponsored
by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS). It is intended to cover all important areas of
theoretical computer science, such as: computability,
automata,formal languages, term rewriting, analysis of
algorithms, computational geometry, computational
complexity, symbolic and algebraic computation,
cryptography, data types and data structures, theory of
data bases and knowledge bases, semantics of programming
languages, program specification, transformation and
verification, foundations of logicprogramming, theory of
logical design and layout, parallel and distributed
computation, theory of concurrency, and theory of robotics.
This volume contains the proceedings of ICALP 93, held at
LundUniversity, Sweden, in July 1993. It includes five
invited papers and 51 contributed papers selected from 151
submissions.
