The 7th International Conference on Words

WORDS is a biannual conference devoted entirely to combinatorics on words (finite or infinite sequences of symbols taken from a finite alphabet). The 7th edition of WORDS is under the auspices of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). The conference is also sponsored by ESF Project "AutoMathA", by MIUR project (PRIN) "Mathematical aspects and emerging applications of automata and formal languages", by Dipartimento di Informatica e Applicazioni "R.M. Capocelli" (University of Salerno, Italy) and by Faculty of Science (University of Salerno, Italy). WORDS 2009 will take place at University of Salerno, from September 14 to September 18, 2009 (see the Conference Venue page and the Registration page for further details). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the algebraic aspects of the combinatorics on words and their applications. Special attention will be paid to the relations with automata theory.
