This book comprises the proceedings of the 6th International Conference of Implementation and Applications of Automata, held at the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2001. The topics of the 23 papers presented range from automata applications in software engineering, natural language and speech recognition, and image processing, to new representations and algorithms for efficient implementation of automata and related structures.

Contributions that may be of interest to readers include “Finite-state transducer cascade to extract proper names in texts”, “Improving raster image run-length encoding using data order”, “Enhancements of partitioning techniques for image compression using weighted finite automata”, “Minimal adaptive pattern-matching automata for efficient term rewriting” and “Superdeterministic finite automata”.

Overall, this is an interesting reference text, providing both theoretical and practical results related to automata. It is suitable for researchers, industrialists, and students from computer science disciplines.
