Julius-Richard Büchi (1924-1984) was a Swiss logician and a mathematician 
who received his Dr. sc. nat. in 1950 at the ETH Zürich under the 
supervision of Paul Bernays. Almost half a century ago, in 1962, he 
invented what is now called the Büchi automaton. In the recent years there 
has been tremendous efforts devoted to extending Büchi?s results. I The 
aim of this workshop is to bring together some among the best specialists 
from this new trend of automata theory and discuss the existing results 
and the ones to come.
