摘要
A parallel communicating automata system consists of several automata working independently in parallel and communicating with each other by request with the aim of recognizing a word. Rather surprisingly, returning parallel communicating finite automata systems are equivalent to the non- returning variants. We show this result by proving the equivalence of both with multihead finite automata. Some open problems are finally formulated.
