Automata models are specified by four basic compo-nents: input, output, storage device and acceptance mode. Fundamental aspects. Mathematical foundations. The need for strong mathematical foundations for AT goes back to the early 1960s.

Automata Theory is an exciting, theoretical branch of computer science. It established its roots during the 20th Century, as mathematicians began developing - both theoretically and literally - machines which imitated certain features of man, completing calculations more quickly and reliably. The word automaton itself, closely related to the word "...
The exciting history of how finite automata became a branch of computer science illustrates its wide range of applications. The first people to consider the concept of a finite-state machine included a team of biologists, psychologists, mathematicians, engineers and some of the first computer scientists. They all shared a common interest: to model ...
The simplest automata used for computation is a finite automaton. It can compute only very primitive functions; therefore, it is not an adequate computation model. In addition, a finite-state machine's inability to generalize computations hinders its power. The following is an example to illustrate the difference between a finite-state machine and ...
"The aim of this book is to present a theory of several types of automata and applications of these facts in logic, concurrency and algebra. ... The book contains suitable material for a two-semester course for students of computer science or mathematics.
Oct 29, 2021 · Automata Theory is the branch of computer science that is concerned with the study of abstract machines and automata. These include finite-state machines, pushdown automata and Turing machines. Finite-state machines are abstract machines that may be in one of a finite number of states.

Normally automata theory describes the states of abstract machines but there are discrete automata, analog automata or continuous automata, or hybrid discrete-continuous automata, which use digital data, analog data or continuous time, or digital and analog data, respectively.
Automata Theory is a branch of Computer Science that deals with the study of abstract machines or automata, which are used to model and analyze the behavior of computing systems. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Information Systems, 2003
What is Automata Theory? Study of abstract computing devices, or “machines” Automaton = an abstract computing device. Note: A “device” need not even be a physical hardware! A fundamental question in computer science: . Find out what different models of machines can do and cannot do. The theory of computation. Computability vs. Complexity.
