Opis

This book presents a collection of refereed papers on formal language theory arranged for the occasion of the 50th birthday of Jurgen Dassow, who has made a significant contribution to the areas of regulated rewriting and grammar systems.
The volume comprises 33 revised full papers organized in sections on regulated rewriting, cooperating distributed grammar systems, parallel communicating grammar systems, splicing systems, infinite words, and algebraic approaches to languages.
