IA072 Seminar on Concurrency

Programme

Regular languages over finite words are the best-behaved class one can imagine, nicely characterised in monadic second order logic. For infinite words the classic family of (omega-)regular languages starts to behave a bit funny but still acceptable. It is just not the only such class any more. I will introduce several possible extensions described in terms of automata, logic, or both. Then I will try to persuade you that these classes may not be less "regular" than the classic one. Finally, interesting open questions may be raised (both by me and the audience).
