This textbook gives a systematized and compact summary, providing the most
essential types of modern models for languages and computation together with
their properties and applications. Most of these models properly reflect and
formalize current computational methods, based on parallelism, distribution and
cooperation covered in this book. As a result, it allows the user to develop,
study, and improve these methods very effectively.
This textbook also represents the first systematic treatment of modern language
models for computation. It covers all essential theoretical topics concerning
them. From a practical viewpoint, it describes various concepts, methods,
algorithms, techniques, and software units based upon these models. Based upon
them, it describes several applications in biology, linguistics, and computer
science.<
Advanced-level students studying computer science, mathematics, linguistics and
biology will find this textbook a valuable resource. Theoreticians, practitioners
and researchers working in todays theory of computation and its applications will
also find this book essential as a reference.
