This Festschrift volume is published in Honor of Yaacov Choueka on
the occasion of this 75th birthday. The present three-volumes liber
amicorum, several years in gestation, honours this outstanding
Israeli computer scientist and is dedicated to him and to his
scientific endeavours. Yaacov's research has had a major impact not
only within the walls of academia, but also in the daily life of
lay users of such technology that originated from his research. An
especially amazing aspect of the temporal span of his scholarly
work is that half a century after his influential research from the
early 1960s, a project in which he is currently involved is proving
to be a sensation, as will become apparent from what follows.
Yaacov Choueka began his research career in the theory of computer
science, dealing with basic questions regarding the relation
between mathematical logic and automata theory. From formal
languages, Yaacov moved to natural languages. He was a founder of
natural-language processing in Israel, developing numerous tools
for Hebrew. He is best known for his primary role, together with
Aviezri Fraenkel, in the development of the Responsa Project, one
of the earliest fulltext retrieval systems in the world. More
recently, he has headed the Friedberg Genizah Project, which is
bringing the treasures of the Cairo Genizah into the Digital Age.
This first part of the three-volume set covers a range of topics in
computer science. The papers are grouped in topical sections on:
the jubilaris: Yaacov and his oeuvre; theory of computation;
science computing and tools for engineering; information retrieval.
