1.1.3 Automata theory Automata Theory deals with definitions and properties of different types of “computation models”. Examples of such models are: • Finite Automata. These are used in text processing, compilers, and hardware design. • Context-Free Grammars. These are used to define programming lan-guages and in Artificial ...
