Sommario/riassunto

The 31st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2004) was held from July 12 to July 16 in Turku, Finland. This volume contains all contributed papers presented at ICALP 2004, together with the invitedlecturesbyPhilippeFlajolet(INRIA),RobertHarper(CarnegieMellon), Monika Henzinger (Google), Martin Hofmann (Munich), Alexander Razborov (Princeton and Moscow), Wojciech Rytter (Warsaw and NJIT), and Mihalis Yannakakis (Stanford). ICALP is a series of annual conferences of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). The ?rst ICALP took place in 1972 and the ICALP program currently consists of track A (focusing on algorithms, automata, complexity, and cryptography) and track B (focusing on databases, logics, semantics, and principles of programming). Inresponsetothecallforpapers,theprogramcommitteereceived379papers, 272 for track A and 107 for track B. This is the highest number of submitted papersinthehistoryofICALPconferences.Theprogramcommitteesselected97 papersforinclusionintothescienti?cprogram.Theprogramcommitteefortrack A met on March 27 and 28 in Barcelona and selected 69 papers from track A. TheprogramcommitteefortrackBselected28papersfromtrackBinthecourse of an electronic discussion lasting for two weeks in the second half of March. The selections were based on originality, quality, and relevance to theor- ical computer science. We wish to thank all authors who submitted extended abstracts for consideration, the program committee for its hard work, and all referees who assisted the program committee in the evaluation process.
