Call for Papers

The 29th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA 2025) will be held from September 22-25, 2025, in Palermo, Italy.

The purpose of CIAA is to bring together members of the academic, research, and industrial community who have an interest in the theory, implementation, and application of automata and related structures. The conference concerns research on all aspects of implementation and application of automata and related structures, including theoretical aspects.
