WORDS 2015: 10th anniversary of the conference

WORDS 2015 was the tenth conference of the series, which was initiated in Rouen, France.
During the meeting words, lots of exciting scientific results have been presented: All theses results attest to the involvement of the conference in the developments of Combinatorics on Words.

We would like to thanks the organizators of WORDS 2015 to give us, as an invited speaker, the opportunity of testifying to this involvement.
The abstract of this talk is included in the proceedings of the conference and slides are accessible from my own page from Research Gate.

A summary of the numerous contributions which where provided in the ten meetings WORDS is available in the
Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS 118 (February 2016).

A lot of open questions have been also stated during the conferences WORDS.
Based on a statistical approach of the corresponding thematics, we have compiled a list which is available from the following manuscript:

Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS 125 (June 2018)

We strongly wish to progressively update the corresponding document by adding informations concerning the advances in the problems solving.
In order of this, please contact the author of the document at: jean.neraud@univ-rouen.fr or neraud.jean@free.fr.

The list of open questions has been updated with respect to the eleventh conference.
