Cellular automata and formal languages

open access: closed11th Annual Symposium on Switching and Automata Theory (swat 1970), 1970
A set of equivalences is established among cellular automata, iterative acceptors, and linear-bounded automata. However, cellular automata are shown to be inherently faster than iterative acceptors. Many positive results are presented to indicate that the context-free languages can, perhaps, be accepted in time n and space n by cellular automata.

On the representation of formal languages using automata on networks

open access: closed10th Annual Symposium on Switching and Automata Theory (swat 1969), 1969
A new model of abstract automata is presented employing the concept of finite automata on a network. Each normal network n provided with a one-way input tape determines a family of languages nl. A representation theorem, analogous to the Chomsky-Schutzenberger representation theorem for context free languages1, is proved for the class nl.

On the application of formal language and automata theory to pattern recognition

open access: closedPattern Recognition, 1972
Abstract This paper studies M-way automata as a method of defining patterns in a multidimensional discrete space. It is shown that the membership question is recursively solvable for large classes of automata while the emptiness question is r, unsolvable even for the class of M-way finite automata.

Cellular Automata, Formal Languages and Developmental Systems

open access: closed, 1973
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses cellular automata, formal language, and developmental system. The term, “cellular” refers to the subunits with which construction is carried out, and does not imply an analogy of these subunits with cells of living organisms. Cellular-automaton models have also been introduced with reference to the development

Increasing interaction and support in the formal languages and automata theory course

open access: closedACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2007
The introduction of educational software such as JFLAP into the course Formal Languages and Automata (FLA) has created a learning environment with automatic feedback on theoretical topics. In this paper we show how we further increase the interaction in the FLA course with the expansion of additional theoretical topics in JFLAP, and how we have added ...

Formal Languages and Automata [PDF]

open access: possible, 1985
Study of formal languages and automata theory is a prerequisite for much of the material covered in this text. In this chapter, I will give a survey which is adequate for our purposes. The literature in the field is, however, extensive and the interested reader can gain a much deeper understanding of the topics discussed in this survey by studying some

A mobile app for teaching formal languages and automata

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, 2018
AbstractFormal Languages and Automata (FLA) address mathematical models able to specify and recognize languages, their properties and characteristics. Although solid knowledge of FLA is extremely important for a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and similar fields, the algorithms and techniques covered in the course are complex and difficult to ...

Teaching-learning methodology for formal languages and automata theory

2015 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2015
Formal languages and automata (FLA) theory have fundamental relevance to the base of knowledge in the computer science area, especially focusing on scientific education. Usually presented by a discipline, the teaching-learning process of FLA is characterized by the high level of abstraction, and it is considered difficult due to the complexity of ...
