Assessing the state of the art in some of the most active research areas in theoretical computer science, this book presents research papers and survey articles written on the occasion of Grzegorz Rozenberg's 60th birthday. The topics covered range from basic decidability and the notion of information to graph grammars and graph transformations, and from trees and traces to aqueous algorithms, DNA encoding, and self-assembly.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Finite-State Methods in Natural Language Processing, FSMNLP 2005, held in Helsinki, Finland, September 2005. The book presents 24 revised full papers and seven revised poster papers together with two invited contributions and abstracts of six software demos. Topics include morphology, optimality theory, some special FSM families, weighted FSM algorithms, FSM representations, exploration, ordered structures, and surface parsing.

This commemorative book celebrates the 70th birthday of Arto Kustaa Salomaa, one of the most influential researchers in theoretical computer science. variety of topics in theoretical computer science and impressively reflect the breadth and the depth of Arto Salomaa's scientific work.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Combinatorics on Words, WORDS 2013, held in Turku, Finland, in September 2013 under the auspices of the EATCS. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 initial submissions. The central topic of the conference is combinatorics on words (i.e. the study of finite and infinite sequence of symbols) from varying points of view, including their combinatorial, algebraic and algorithmic aspects, as well as their applications.
