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...
: Generalized finite automata with weights for states and transitions have been successfully applied to image generation for more than a decade now. Bilevel images (black and whit...
In this paper we consider the problem of minimization of deterministic finite automata (DFA) with reference to Hopcroft’s algorithm. Hopcroft’s algorithm has several degrees o...

An attractive mechanism to specify global constraints in rostering and other domains is via formal languages. For instance, the REGULAR and GRAMMAR constraints specify constraints ...
Sequence Diagrams (SDs) have proven useful for describing transaction-oriented systems, and can form a basis for creating statecharts. However, distributed embedded systems require...
