Abstract
This Special Issue of RAIRO, Theoretical Informatics and Applications is devoted to full versions of selected papers from the workshop Word Avoidability, Complexity and Morphisms which took place in Turku (Finland) on July 2004, as a satellite event of the conference ICALP'2004.

The topics of this one day workshop concern particular aspects of Combinatorics on Words: string pattern avoidability, complexities of finite or infinite words, and free monoids morphims.

The scientific program of the worshop consisted of two invited lectures given by A.E. Frid and J. Shallit as well as presentations of 8 contributed papers selected by the Program Committee from a total of 12 submissions.

The Program Committee consisted of : A. Carpi (Perugia), J. Cassaigne (Marseille), J. Currie (Winnipeg), I. Petre (Turku), G. Richomme (Amiens), A. M. Shur (Ekaterinburg), and P. Séébold (Montpellier).

This special issue contains the full text of five of the papers presented at the workshop. All of them were normally refereed and revised.

I would like to thank everybody who contributed to the workshop and this issue including invited speakers, members of the program Committee, ICALP'2004's organization, authors and all referees of papers submitted to the worshop and this special issue. I am indebtful to J. Kärhumaki and J. Berstel for thinking of me to organize this workshop. Special thanks to P. Séébold for all his advices. Finally I am grateful to C. Choffrut, the editor-chief of the RAIRO-TIA for accepting to publish this special issue.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
