Abstract: Motivated by computer science challenges, we suggest to extend the approach and
methods of finite model theory beyond finite structures. We study definability issues
and their relation to complexity on metafinite structures which typically consist of (i) a
primary part, which is a finite structure, (ii) a secondary part, which is a (usually
infinite) structure that can be viewed as a structured domain of numerical objects, and
(iii) a set of "weight" functions from the first part into the... (Update)
