This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2021, which was held in Porto, Portugal, during August 16-20, 2021. The DLT conference series provides a forum for presenting current developments in formal languages and automata.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers of the 17th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2012, held in Porto, Portugal, in July 2012. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers and 7 short papers were carefully selected from 53 submissions. The papers cover various topics such as automata applications in formal verification methods, natural language processing, pattern matching, data storage and retrieval, and bioinformatics, as well as theoretical work on automata theory.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Workshop of Descriptional Complexity of Formal Systems 2012, held in Braga, Portugal, in July 2012. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The topics covered are automata, grammars, languages and related systems, various measures and modes of operations (e.g., determinism and nondeterminism); trade-offs between computational models and/or operations; succinctness of description of (finite) objects; state explosion-like phenomena; circuit complexity of Boolean functions and related measures; resource-bounded or structure-bounded environments; frontiers between decidability and undecidability; universality and reversibility; structural complexity; formal systems for applications (e.g., software reliability, software and hardware testing, modeling of natural languages); nature-motivated (bio-inspired) architectures and unconventional models of computing; Kolmogorov complexity.
