This volume features seventeen extended conference abstracts corresponding to selected talks
given by participants at the CRM research program Automorphisms of Free Groups: Algorithms
Geometry and Dynamics which took place at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona in
fall 2012. Most of them are short articles giving preliminary presentations of new results not
yet published in regular research journals. The articles are the result from a direct
collaboration among active researchers in the area after working in a dynamic and productive
atmosphere. The book is intended for established researchers in the area of Group Theory as
well as for PhD and postdoc students who wish to learn more about the latest advances in this
active area of research.
