WORDS is a biannual international conference covering the mathematical
theory of words (sequences of symbols) from all points of view:
combinatorial, algebraic, algorithmic, as well as its applications to
biology, linguistics, physics, and others. The previous WORDS conferences
have taken place in Rouen (1997, 1999), Palermo (2001), Turku (2003, 2013),
Montreal (2005), Marseille (2007), Salerno (2009), Prague (2011). This year
we celebrate the 10th edition of WORDS.

We invite everyone who is interested in the topics and program of WORDS
2015 to register for the conference. Details on the program of the
conference are given below. The details regarding the registration
procedure are given at:

A refereed proceedings volume, including extended abstracts of the invited
talks as well as original contributions, that fulfil the high quality
standards required by a formal publication in computer science, will be
published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. In
addition, a local proceedings volume will be published, including, in the
spirit of mathematics conferences, a series of less formal contributions
informing on current research and work in progress.

In the first day of the conference, an OPEN PROBLEMS session will also be
organized.

The PROGRAM COMMITTEE, that selected the talks to be presented at the
conference, consists of:
Maxime Crochemore (London), Juhani Karhumäki (Turku), Dirk Nowotka (Kiel -
chair), Stepan Holub (Prague), Antonio Restivo (Palermo), Manfred
Kufleitner (Stuttgart), Gad Landau (Haifa), Michel Rigo (Liege), James
Currie (Winnipeg), Mikhail V. Volkov (Ekaterinburg), Wojciech Plandowski
(Warsaw), Luca Zamboni (Lyon).

SOCIAL PROGRAM:

The social program of the conference includes an excursion and the
conference dinner (supported by the organizers), as well as a couple of
informal dinners.

SCHEDULE:

The complete schedule of the conference will be soon available on the
web-site. A tentative schedule can be seen here:
