Abstract
As it was shown in related papers, a conditional tabled eco-grammar system represents itself a rich multi-agent formal framework, allowing among other things to characterize some important classes of formal languages. Some new results about generative power of extended conditional tabled eco-grammar (ECTEG) systems are shown. In order to extend the previous research the main interest is devoted to so far less studied systems with scattered mode context conditions. It is proven that several hierarchies of these language classes collapse and that the ECTEG 1(1,2;s) class characterizes context-sensitive languages.
