The Formal Languages Seminar

Organizer: Tom Head

In this seminar speakers most often present new unpublished research - usually by the speaker. The topics cohere when viewed from an appropriate perspective, but may appear diverse at first thought.

Typical topics: dynamics of symbolic processes, variable length codes and generalizations, splicing systems, wet lab molecular computing, theoretical computer science.
