Automata theory is the foundation of computer science. Its applications have spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other disciplines. In addition, there is a growing number of software systems designed to manipulate automata, regular expressions, grammars, and related structures. This volume contains 24 regular papers from the 8th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA 2003) held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in July 2003 covering various topics in the theory, implementation, and application of automata and related structures. It also includes the abstracts of two invited lectures as well as the abstracts of the poster papers displayed during the conference.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2005, held in Sophia Antipolis, France, in June 2005. The 26 revised full papers and 8 revised poster papers presented together with 2 invited contributions were selected from 87 submissions and have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The topics covered show applications of automata in many fields, including mathematics, linguistics, networks, XML processing, biology and music.
