This book offers a fresh perspective on the study and teaching of the Theory of Computation. The author’s selection of topics and the comprehensive set of questions demonstrate extensive knowledge and years of
Theory of computationWe developed a mobile app named Automata Simulator to simulate different types of automata and used it to teach the course on theory of computation. The students used the app to design and simulate automata during the lectures. The students also used a more sophisticated ...

We propose a model of distributed timed systems where each component is a timed automaton with a set of local clocks that evolve at a rate independent of the clocks of the other components. A clock can be read by any component in the system, but it can only be reset by the automaton i...

读完由东方和尚翻译,Jake评注的Theory of Self-reproducing Automata 后,我首先想到的就是这句话。《自复制自动机理论》这本书是:Arthur W. Burks博士对John von Neumann关于自复制自动机的一系列讲座的整理,前者是冯•诺依曼的助手,也是遗传算法之父John Holland的博士生导师。一本书的价值高低在于其能够提供给...
We start by recalling the notion of Deterministic Finite State Automaton (DFA), a well-known structure used in language theory to model and recognize regular languages. Definition 1Deterministic Finite State Automaton (DFA) A DFA is a tupleA=〈Σ,Q,q0,δ,F〉, where:(i)Σis the finiteinpu...
In this theory, discrete event systems are basically automata where accepting states represent successful termination. Instead, forbidden states are those that may lead to failures, and thus should not be traversed in “good” computations. The purpose is then to synthesise a controller that en...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach to the automatic verification of finite-state programs. The basic idea underlying this approach is that for any temporal formula we can construct an alternating automaton that accepts precisely the computations
