Languages Alive

Published to honor renowned formal language researcher Jürgen Dassow, this collection of essays by leading researchers, colleagues and friends covers a wealth of topics familiar to the 65-year-old luminary, including picture languages and quantum automata.

This festschrift volume, published in honor of Jürgen Dassow on the occasion of his 65th birthday, contains 19 contributions by leading researchers, colleagues, and friends. Covering topics on picture languages, cooperating distributed systems of automata, quantum automata, grammar systems, online computation, word equations, biologically motivated formal systems, controlled derivations, descriptional complexity, as well as 'classical' topics of automata and language theory, the articles presented span the range of the scientific work of Jürgen Dassow.
