Abstract

A system for a graphic simulation of finite-state machines is presented. The system helps to define a finite-state automaton and a graphic representation of it. It also facilitates understanding and testing of finite-state machines. The system is designed to be used by under-graduate computer science students as an aid in units such as Compilers and Theory of Computation.
