Theory of Computing Systems, 2013 The author develops an algebraic theory for languages of data words, i.e. words over an alphabet \(\Sigma\times \mathbb{D}\) where \(\Sigma\) is a finite set of labels and \(\mathbb{D}\) is an infinite set of data values. Some of the key notions of the paper are defined relative to a given data symmetry \((\mathbb{D},G)\) in which \(G\) is a subgroup ...
