DMTCS'99 and CATS'99 will be part of the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW'99).

Original papers are solicited in all areas of discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

(a) abstract data types and specifications,
(b) algorithms and data structures,
(c) automata and formal languages,
(d) computability and complexity,
(e) computational algebra, biology, geometry, logic and number theory,
(f) concurrency, distributed systems and parallel computing,
(g) constructive mathematics,
(h) discrete mathematics, combinatorial computing and category theory,
(i) formal semantics, specification, synthesis and verification,
(j) hybrid systems and nonmonotonic logic.

Authors are invited to submit papers either in hard copy by post, or electronically by email, to the address below. Electronic submissions should be in PostScript format, printable in a standard Unix environment. L^AT_EX source of final versions of accepted papers will be required. Submissions should not exceed 15 pages and include an e-mail address of the corresponding author.

Joint submissions to other conferences are not permitted. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register by Nov. 6th and present their work at the conference. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Singapore in the DMTCS Series, and will be made available during the conference.
