Students discuss the respective formal languages and the fundamental theorems such as closure theorems and different versions of Nerode equivalences. The second part of the course discusses the applications of automata in selected areas of compilers, natural language processing, information retrieval, type checking of programs, composition of services and temporal logic reasoning.
