Events and Publications

In 2011, FSMNLP was organized jointly with CIAA 2011 (Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata) because the organizers and the dates of both events were close enough. Many participated both conferences.

The second SIGFSM elections are due in 2012. The elections are going to be held after the FSMNLP 2012 workshop because more candidates can be nominated in this way.
