Fundamentals of Computation Theory

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Fundamentals of Computation Theory held in Szeged, Hungary, August 21-25, 1989. The conference is the seventh in the series of the FCT conferences initiated in 1977 in Poznan-Kornik, Poland. The papers collected in this volume are the texts of invited contributions and shorter communications falling into one of the following sections: - Efficient Computation by Abstract Devices: Automata, Computability, Probabilistic Computations, Parallel and Distributed Computing; - Logics and Meanings of Programs: Algebraic and Categorical Approaches to Semantics, Computational Logic, Logic Programming, Verification, Program Transformations, Functional Programming; - Formal Languages: Rewriting Systems, Algebraic Language Theory; - Computational Complexity: Analysis and Complexity of Algorithms, Design of Efficient Algorithms, Algorithms and Data Structures, Computational Geometry, Complexity Classes and Hierarchies, Lower Bounds.Csirik, Janos is the author of 'Fundamentals of Computation Theory', published 2007 under ISBN 9783540514985 and ISBN 3540514988.
