Lecture notes
- The lecture notes can be found here.
Notice that some pages use color! Printed copies can be obtained from the Fachschaft at a very
low price, if some student volunteers to organize the process.
The lecture notes have already been revised several times, but it may still
contain typos or mistakes. Please email me if you find some. If there is some important error then I
will call your attention to it through the News.
- Here you can find an online collection of examples. It
is seriously outdated, it was written for an old version of the script.
Literature
- Tobias Nipkow's slides from his introductory lecture (in German).
- Debasis Mitra's slides from his introductory lecture (in English). Remark: this is just one of the many sets of slides available on line.

Slides
Last year I produced slides for the course. Here they are :
This year I am producing better slides (more color, properly displayed formulas etc).
I have already revised several sets of slides:
Tools
In both exercises and class we will demonstrate and use a number of tools
to illustrate the theory and to present typical applications. They may include:
- JFLAP. Automata on finite words
- SPIN. Verification using automata on infinite words
- MONA. Logic and automata connection.
- LTL2BA. Automata and temporal logic.
