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.
