Abstract:In the last fifteen years the area of formal language theory and abstract automata has enjoyed a great deal of attention from the research community in theoretical computer science. However, in the last few years the main interest in theoretical computer science has been directed elsewhere. In these notes I shall consider the role of formal language theory in theoretical computer science by discussing some areas in which formal language theory may find applications.Behind the activities in theoretical computer… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
