Automata theory presents roughly three types of automata: finite automata, pushdown automata and Turing machines. The automata are treated as language acceptors, and the expressiv...

Abstract. In this paper, we present an automata-theoretic approach to Hardware/Software (HW/SW) co-verification. We designed a co-specification framework describing HW/SW systems; ...

The minimization problem for visibly pushdown automata (VPA) is studied. Two subclasses of VPA are introduced: call driven automata, and block automata. For the first class, minim...
A well-known theorem in automata theory states that every context-free language is accepted by a pushdown automaton. We investigate this theorem in the setting of processes, using ...

Abstract. Operator precedence grammars define a classical Boolean and deterministic context-free family (called Floyd languages or FLs). FLs have been shown to strictly include the...
