will be held in St Petersburg (Russia) on June 7th, 2006, as a satellite workshop to the International Computer Science Symposium in Russia (CSR'06, http://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/~csr2006/ ).
The year 2006 is special both for the theory of automata and combinatorics of words: it is marked by the centennial of Thue's paper "Ueber unendliche Zeichenreihen" and the 50th anniversary of Kleene's paper "Representations of events in nerve nets and finite automata". In a certain sense, one can speak about the 100th birthday of combinatorics on words and the 50th birthday of automata theory. To celebrate these remarkable anniversaries within the CSR'06, we have proposed to organize on June 7, 2006, a one-day workshop devoted to words, automata and various aspects of their interaction.
