  year		= "1995",
  abstract	= "The theory of traces employs techniques and tackles
		  problems from quite diverse areas which include formal
		  language theory, combinatorics, graph theory, algebra,
		  logic, and the theory of concurrent systems. In all these
		  areas the theory of traces has led to interesting problems
		  and significant results. It had especially big impact in
		  formal language theory and the theory of concurrent
		  systems. In both these disciplines it is a well-recognized
		  and dynamic research area. Within formal language theory it
		  yields the theory of partially commutative monoids, and
		  provides an important connection between languages and
		  graphs. Within the theory of concurrent systems it provides
		  an important formal framework for the analysis and
		  synthesis of concurrent systems. This monograph covers all
		  important research lines of the theory of traces -- each
		  chapter is devoted to one research line and is written by
		  leading experts. It is organized in such a way that each
		  chapter can be read independently -- and hence is very
		  suitable for advanced courses/seminars on formal language
		  theory and the theory of concurrent systems. The monograph
		  includes an extensive bibliography. At present, there is no
		  other book of this type on trace theory.
