Mission Statement
The FASTAR (Finite Automata Systems --- Theoretical and Applied Research) group aims to be the leading international research group in all areas related to finite state systems.
Our work includes both core and applied parts of this field. The core concepts include: finite automata, regular expressions, pattern matchers, parsers and transducers; as well as the algorithms operating on these objects and data-structures.
The applied areas in FASTAR are particularly broad, and encompass: text indexing, computational linguistics, bioinformatics/computational genetics, network security and intrusion detection, programming languages and compilers, communicating concurrent systems, modeling and control of interacting nanomachines, etc.
