ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES IN AUTOMATA AND DATABASE THEORY

by B I Plotkin, L Ja Greenglaz (Riga Aviation Univ.) & A A Gvaramija (Abhazian State Univ.)

The book is devoted to the investigation of algebraic structure. The emphasis is on the algebraic nature of real automation, which appears as a natural three-sorted algebraic structure, that allows for a rich algebraic theory. Based on a general category position, fuzzy and stochastic automata are defined. The final chapter is devoted to a database automata model. Database is defined as an algebraic structure and this allows us to consider theoretical problems of databases.
