<p><strong>AIMS:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>LATA is a conference series on theoretical computer science and its applications. Following the tradition of the diverse PhD training events in the field developed at Rovira i VirgiliUniversity in Tarragona since 2002, LATA 2016 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting contributions from classical theory fields as well as application areas.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>VENUE:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>LATA 2016 will take place in Prague, a city full of history and cultural attractions, and one of the political and economic cores of central Europe. The venue will be the campus of the CzechTechnicalUniversity in the Dejvice quarter.</p>
