Algebraic Recognizability of Languages

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how this word-related notion extends to more complex models, such as those developed for modeling distributed or timed behaviors, and explore why that is.

Higher dimensional automata

TL;DR: It is provided the basics of a 2-dimensional theory of automata on series-parallel biposets and relates these classes to languages of series-Parallel bipOSets definable in monadic second-order logic.

Logic and Rational Languages of Words Indexed by Linear Orderings

TL;DR: It is proved that every rational language of words indexed by linear orderings is definable in monadic second-order logic, and it is shown that the converse is true for the class of languages indexed by countable scattered linear ordering, but false in the general case.

Finite automata

TL;DR: The chapter presents a complete proof of P. Schutzenberger's theorem, stating the equality between star-free sets and aperiodic sets, and describes the applications of finite automata, such as string matching or file indexing.
