Abstract

Abstract state machines (originally called evolving algebras) constitute a modern computation model [8]. ASMs describe algorithms without compromising the abstraction level. ASMs and ASM based tools have been used in academia and industry to give precise semantics for computing artifacts and to specify software and hardware [1, 2, 6]. In connection to the conference on Developments in Language Theory, we consider how and whether ASMs could be useful in language theory.
