Workshop "Automata and Algorithmic Logic"
Stuttgart, 28-29 June, 2009
(satellite workshop of DLT09)
The workshop provides the opportunity to assess recent scientific
advances and exchange ideas regarding the interplay of automata and
logic. More specifically, the meeting will focus on recent
developments in the inter-relation of monadic second order logic and
automata, in automatic structures, and in the application of automata
to semi-structured data.
The programme consists of invited talks by
- Balder ten Cate (Amsterdam)
- Bakh Khoussainov (Auckland)
- Christof Loeding (Aachen)
as well as contributed talks. For that purpose, we invite submissions on the
following topics (as well as related fields):
- effective presentations of infinite structures
(e.g., automatic structures, rewriting graphs, Caucal's hierarchy,
model-theoretic transformations)
- algorithmic techniques for monadic second order logic and its fragments
(e.g., modal logics, temporal logics, mu-calculus)
- semi-structured data and automata
- automata and logics for verification
- relation between games, automata, and logics
Submissions in the form of an abstract of at most two pages should be
sent to the organizers.
The workshop is supported by the ESF-programmme
"AutoMathA". Therefore, we will provide funding for speakers;
additional funding for, e.g., PhD-students can be applied for.
