One clock alternating timed automata OCATA have been recently introduced as natural extension of (one clock) timed automata to express the semantics of MTL (Ouaknine, Worrell 2005). We consider the application of OCATA to problem of…

To implement quantum algorithms on a quantum computer, we must overcome the twin problems of fault-tolerance -- how can we realize a relatively noiseless computation by cleverly combining noisy components? -- and compilation -- how can we…

This note is a survey of examples and results about cellular automata with the purpose of recalling that there is no 'universal' way of being computationally universal. In particular, we show how some cellular automata can embed efficient…
