Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

On successful completion of the course, the student - understands the notions from automata and language theory - is able to choose an appropriate formal language for description of practical problems, and understands possibilities and limitations of various automata classes in connection with practical problems solving - is able, by self-study, to master and present an advanced topic (e.g. from the area of program verification)

Summary

The course first recapitulates basic knowledge concerning finite automata, context-free languages and Turing machines from the master studies; an emphasis is put on the rigorous approach and deeper understanding. The course is then devoted to some advanced parts in these and further areas (including, e.g., relation of languages and automata with logic, tree languages etc.).
