Language and Automata Theory and Applications 14th International Conference, LATA 2020, Milan, Italy, March 4–6, 2020, Proceedings

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications, LATA 2020, which was planned to be held in Milan, Italy, in March 2020. Due to the corona pandemic, the actual conference was postponed and will be held together with LATA 2021.
