It was intended to cover the topics of algebraic semantics on graphs and trees, formalpowerseries, syntacticobjects, algebraicpictureprocessing, ?nite and- ?nite computations, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays, etc., decision problems, algebraic characterization of logical theories, process algebra, algebraic algorithms, algebraic coding theory, algebraicaspects of cr- tography. CAI 2009 was dedicated to Werner Kuich on the occasion of his retirement. ItwasheldinThessaloniki, Greece, duringMay19-22,2009andorganizedunder the auspices of the Department of Mathematics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
