Overview

The topics included in this proceedings cover both mathematics and computer science. They include Codes, Free Monoids, Transformation Semigroups, Automata, Formal Languages, Word Problems, Orders and Combinatorics. Attention is paid to the algebraic theories of codes and rewriting systems, which are the key subjects that combine these two fields. The number of papers in the proceedings exceeds 45 and all papers have been refereed.

Reviews

For mathematicians interested in Algebra and its relationship with Computer Science the articles will offer an impressive view into the mainstreams of the current research. For the semigroup theorist they will give the convincing confirmation that his theory is something useful, which can be applied in other disciplines receiving conversely new ideas, new tasks and new impulses for its further development.
