The series of International Conferences Developments in Language Theory provides a forum for presenting current developments in formal languages and automata. 

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages including bibliography and should follow the LNCS- style LaTeX2e (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Proofs omitted due to space constraints should be given in an appendix or made accessible through a reliable link to a freely available electronic preprint. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through the EasyChair system
