1. introduction glaciers and snow covers in the mountains play an important role in the water budget of many areas of the world (ramage and isacks, 2003). in high altitudes and mountainous regions, snowmelt is a great contributor to the yearly runoff. the snow melt supplies 1/6 of people's needed water but due to global warming these glaciers may be at risk (barnett, et al. 2005). for the regio...

We describe exbar, a powerful new algorithm for the exact inference of minimal deterministic automata from given training data. This algorithm achieves the highest performance ever on a set of graded benchmark problems that has been posted by Arlindo Oliveira. In addition, we note that the inexact program ed-beam, which resulted from the Abbadingo DFA learning competition, also does well on thi...
