- Knowlegde corresponding to the courses IB005 - Formal languages and automata and IB107 - Computability and complexity
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 256 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/256, only registered: 0/256, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/256 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 24 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The main aim is to understand and explain selected advanced parts of automata theory, including parsing techniques for deterministic contex-free languages, relationship between finite-state automata and MSO logic, automata on infinite words, and process specifications. Further, students should be able to make reasoned decisions about computational models appropriate for the respective areas and to understand methods and techniques of their applications.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain selected advanced parts of automata theory, and to make reasoned decisions about computational models appropriate for the respective area and to understand methods and techniques of their applications.
