Finite model theory is an area of mathematical logic that grew out of computer science
applications. The main sources of motivational examples for finite model theory are found in …

A basic issue in computer science is the complexity of problems. Computational complexity
measures how much time or memory is needed as a function of the input problem size …

One of the major aims of finite model theory consists in characterizing the queries in a given
complexity class by means of a logic in which they can be described. In this way one obtains …

Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have
published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have …

We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents.
We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state …

Boolean circuit complexity is the combinatorics of computer science and involves many
intriguing problems that are easy to state and explain, even for the layman. This book is a …

This book is an introduction to the theory of computation. After a chapter presenting the
mathematical tools that will be used, the book examines models of computation and the …
