3. About DEA Editor

DEA Editor is a GUI Education Software. It aims at helping to understand the htoery of finite state machines (DFA/FSM, or DEA in german). You can create a FSM by creating its state diagram, and then let your new FSM recognize an input string. This process of recognizing is visualized with colors an animations (the current state of the FSM and the last transition is highlighted). DEA Editor supports drag&drop and an intuitive mouse control.
