Automata for branching and layered temporal structures: an investigation into regularities of infinite transition systems
Puppis, Gabriele
Since 2002, FoLLI awards an annual prize for an outstanding dissertation in the fields of Logic, Language, and Information. This book is based on the Ph.D.thesis of Gabriele Puppis, who was the winner of the E.W. Beth dissertation award for 2007. Puppis' thesis focuses on Logic and Computation and, more specifically, on automata-based decidability techniques for time granularity and ona new method for deciding Monadic Second Order theories of trees. The resultspresented represent a significant step towards a better understanding of the changes in granularity levels that humans make so easily in cognition of time,space, and other phenomena, whereas their logical and computational structureposes difficult conceptual and computational challenges.
