Algebraic Engineering — Proceedings Of The First International Conference On Semigroups And Algebraic Eng And Workshop On For [PDF ebook] 

There is algebraic structure in time, computation and biological systems. Algebraic engineering exploits this structure to achieve better understanding and design. In this book, pure and applied results in semigroups, language theory and algebra are applied to areas ranging from circuit design to software engineering to biological evolution.
