This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2010, held in London, Ontario, Canada, in August 2010. The 32 regular papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The volume also contains the papers or abstracts of 6 invited speakers, as well as a 2-page abstract for each of the 6 poster papers. The topics addressed are formal languages, automata theory, computability, complexity, logic, petri nets and related areas.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2004, held in Kingston, Canada in July 2004. The 25 revised full papers and 14 revised poster papers presented together with 2 invited contributions have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The topics covered range from applications of automata in natural language and speech processing to protein sequencing and gene compression, and from state complexity and new algorithms for automata operations to applications of quantum finite automata.

Implementation and Application of Automata

Arto Salomaa

Derick Wood

This volume gathers lectures by 8 distinguished pioneers of automata theory, including two Turing Award winners. In each contribution, the early developments of automata theory are reminisced about and future directions are suggested. Although some of the contributions go into rather intriguing technical details, most of the book is accessible to a wide audience interested in the progress of the age of computers.The book is a must for professionals in theoretical computer science and related areas of mathematics. For students in these areas it provides an exceptionally deep view at the beginning of the new millennium.
