Graphical Simulation of Finite Automata

Abstract

This Bachelor's Thesis is about the theory of converting regular expression to finate state machine and vice versa. The goal of practical part is to make web application that performs these coversions and do simulation for input string. For converting automata into regular expression it is used the algebraic method which is based on making an equation system to be solved. I have chosen Java as programming language and Java Applet and Java Web Start as technologies that make possible to access the application through the web page. The possibilities like working with three types of automata views, saving atomatons into XML and intuitively creating own automatons are the important part of the application
