The traditional AAA was founded in 1970 by Rudolf Wille, TU Darmstadt. The general coordination stayed with Prof. Wille until 1995, when after 50 conferences he passed it on to Reinhard Pöschel and Bernhard Ganter, TU Dresden. 

The main topics of the 83rd edition of AAA include (but are not limted to):

• Universal algebra and its applications in computer science (in particular, in CSP's)
• Semigroups, groups, automata and their interactions
• Lattices and other ordered algebraic structures
• Connections of algebra to model theory and combinatorics (e.g. homogeneous structures, etc.)

The aim of AAA83 is to promote the recent research results and trends in these areas.

The conference will begin in the morning of March 15, 2012 (Thursday); it will end on March 18, 2012 (Sunday) around lunchtime. The scientific program will consist of 10 invited (50-minute) lectures delivered by leading European researchers in the above areas, and a number of short contributed talks.
