PSC 2025 is the 28^th Stringology conference. It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in DBLP, Scopus, and Web of Science of Clarivate.

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms can make important contributions. String processing extended into tree processing is called arbology.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (in PDF format, 10–15 pages, A4 page format). To allow more time for paper completion, paper title, authors, and abstract should be submitted first by the first deadline (Submission of Abstracts) and the the paper in PDF format still can be updated till the next deadline (Submission of Papers).

If you have any problems/questions on submissions, please contact Jan Holub (pscᏍstringology.org).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using PSC LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2.
