including, but not limited to: algorithms (approximation, online, 
randomized, algorithmic game theory, etc.), analytic combinatorics 
and analysis of algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, 
coding theory and data compression, combinatorial algorithms, 
combinatorial optimization, combinatorics and graph theory,

SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------

Full papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair 
server at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latin2018. 

Submissions are limited to twelve (12) single-column letter-size 
pages in Springer LNCS format (see LNCS author guidelines at 
http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). 
This limit includes figures and references. An optional appendix 
(to be read at the program committee's discretion) may be included 
if desired. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other 
conference with published proceedings, as well as the submission 
of previously published papers, is not allowed. Papers must be 
written in English. For each accepted paper at least one author 
must register and attend the symposium to present it. Moreover, an 
author cannot register for multiple papers. That is, each accepted 
paper must have its own registrant.

----------------------------------------------
PROCEEDINGS
----------------------------------------------

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of LATIN, which 
will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs).
