The theorem of factorization forests of Imre Simon shows the existence of nested factorizations -- `a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in sem...
In this paper we consider parity games defined by higher-order pushdown automata. These automata generalise pushdown automata by the use of higher-order stacks, which are nested ...

Automata for unranked trees form a foundation for XML schemas, querying and pattern languages. We study the problem of efficiently minimizing such automata. First, we study unrank...
In this paper we propose DFL -- a formal, graphical workflow language for dataflows, i.e., workflows where large amounts of complex data are manipulated, and the structure of the ...

The paper considers the problem of checking abstraction between two finite-state fair discrete systems (FDS). In automata-theoretic terms this is trace inclusion between two nond...
