LATIN

LATIN (Latin American Theoretical Informatics) was born in 1992, when a group of Latin American researchers, under the leadership of Imre Simon (São Paulo, Brazil), launched the first of a series of symposia in theoretical computer science, to be held triennially in Latin America. Since 1998 it has been held biennially: Valparaiso, Chile (1995); Campinas, Brazil (1998); Punta del Este, Uruguay (2000); Cancún, Mexico (2002); Buenos Aires, Argentina (2004); Valdivia, Chile (2006); Búzios, Brazil (2008); Oaxaca, Mexico (2010); Arequipa, Peru (2012); Montevideo, Uruguay (2014); Ensenada, Mexico (2016); and Buenos Aires, Argentina (2018).

We are excited to have this meeting, so close to our hearts, back in São Paulo in 2020.

SCOPE AND TOPICS

LATIN is devoted to different areas in theoretical computer science including, but not limited to: algorithms (approximation, online, combinatorial optimization, etc.), algorithmic game theory, analytic combinatorics and analysis of algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, combinatorics and graph theory, computational algebra and number theory, computational complexity, computational biology, computational geometry, data structures and information retrieval, foundations of data science and theoretical machine learning, parallel and distributed computing, quantum computing, randomization and pseudorandomness, sublinear algorithms and testing.
