Developments in Language Theory

The series of international conferences on Developments in Language Theory provides a forum for presenting current developments in formal languages and automata. Its scope is very general and includes, among others, the following topics and areas: combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages; grammars, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays; algebraic theories for automata and languages; codes; efficient text algorithms; symbolic dynamics; decision problems; relationships to complexity theory and logic; picture description and analysis; polyominoes and bidimensional patterns; cryptography; concurrency; cellular automata; bio-inspired computing; quantum computing. The papers submitted to DLT 2017 were from 19 countries including Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Thailand and USA.
