The theory of finite automata and of rational languages could be likened to the ground floor of a huge building under construction which is theoretical computer science. The metaphor would indicate first that it can be entered on the ground level and secondly that it is more convenient to go through it in order to reach the higher levels. It is also the first purely mathematical theory to emerge from the needs and intuitions of computer science in the wider sense. In fact, at the end of the 1950s Kleene, who was intrigued by electronic models of the nervous system which were then very fashionable, proposed characterizing feasible calculations by means of a system making use of a single bound...
Infinite Words is an important theory in both Mathematics and Computer Sciences. Many new developments have been made in the field, encouraged by its application to problems in computer science. Infinite Words is the first manual devoted to this topic. Infinite Words explores all aspects of the theory, including Automata, Semigroups, Topology, Games, Logic, Bi-infinite Words, Infinite Trees and Finite Words. The book also looks at the early pioneering work of Büchi, McNaughton and Schützenberger. Serves as both an introduction to the field and as a reference book. Contains numerous exercises desgined to aid students and readers. Self-contained chapters provide helpful guidance for lectures.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2006, held in Santa Barbara, CA, June 2006. The book presents 36 revised full papers together with 4 invited papers. All important issues in language theory are addressed including grammars, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays; efficient text algorithms; algebraic theories for automata and languages; and more.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Finite-State Methods in Natural Language Processing, FSMNLP 2005, held in Helsinki, Finland, September 2005. The book presents 24 revised full papers and seven revised poster papers together with two invited contributions and abstracts of six software demos. Topics include morphology, optimality theory, some special FSM families, weighted FSM algorithms, FSM representations, exploration, ordered structures, and surface parsing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2008, held in Kyoto, Japan, September 2008. The 36 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. All important issues in language theory are addressed including grammars, acceptors and transducers for words, trees and graphs; algebraic theories of automata; algorithmic, combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages; variable length codes; symbolic dynamics; cellular automata; polyominoes and multidimensional patterns; decidability questions; image manipulation and compression; efficient text algorithms; relationships to cryptography, concurrency, complexity theory and logic; bio-inspired computing; quantum computing.
The two-volume set LNCS 6198 and LNCS 6199 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2010, held in Bordeaux, France, in July 2010. The 106 revised full papers (60 papers for track A, 30 for track B, and 16 for track C) presented together with 6 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 389 submissions. The papers are grouped in three major tracks on algorithms, complexity and games; on logic, semantics, automata, and theory of programming; as well as on foundations of networked computation: models, algorithms and information management. LNCS 6199 contains 46 contributions of track B and C selected from 167 submissions as well as 4 invited talks.
Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2005, held in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2005. The 113 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 407 submissions. The papers address all current issues in theoretical computer science and are organized in topical sections on data structures, cryptography and complexity, cryptography and distributed systems, graph algorithms, security mechanisms, automata and formal languages, signature and message authentication, algorithmic game theory, automata and logic, computational algebra, cache-oblivious algorithms and algorithmic engineering, on-line algorithms, security protocols logic, random graphs, concurrency, encryption and related primitives, approximation algorithms, games, lower bounds, probability, algebraic computation and communication complexity, string matching and computational biology, quantum complexity, analysis and verification, geometry and load balancing, concrete complexity and codes, and model theory and model checking.
This book contains a collection of articles corresponding to some of the talks delivered at the Foundations of Computational Mathematics conference held at IMPA in Rio de Janeiro in January 1997. Some ofthe others are published in the December 1996 issue of the Journal of Complexity. Both of these publications were available and distributed at the meeting. Even in this aspect we hope to have achieved a synthesis of the mathematics and computer science cultures as well as of the disciplines. The reaction to the Park City meeting on Mathematics of Numerical Analy sis: Real Number Algorithms which was chaired by Steve Smale and had around 275 participants, was very enthusiastic. At the suggesti...
