<span id="desc">This is little application to visualize <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression">regular expressions</a>
using a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_state_automata">deterministic finite state automaton</a>.
It was developed for a seminar by Karin Haenelt --
"<a href="http://kontext.fraunhofer.de/haenelt/kurs/FSA/index.html">Endliche Automaten für die Sprachverarbeitung</a>"
in summer term 2010. It is written in pure JavaScript (plus some SVG and underlying HTML) using the
<a href="http://raphaeljs.com/">Raphaël</a> and <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a> libraries. The corresponding
presentation can be downloaded <a href="">here</a> (in German).<br />
The project includes a parser for basic regular expressions, a simulator for testing if a given word is included in the
language defined by the regular expression and additional a relatively fancy simulator for checking includance graphically step
by step. These parts are based on several standard algorithms which can be found in the following literature:
<ul>
<li><strong>Recursive descent parser, Thompson's algorithm:</strong>
<em>Algorithmen in Java</em> (Hans Werner Lang);
<em>Regular expression search algorithm</em> (K. Thompson);
<em>Compilers. Principles, Techniques & Tools.</em> (Aho et al)</li>
<li><strong>Epsilon closure:</strong> <em>The treatment of epsilon moves in subset construction.</em> (Gertjan van Noord)</li>
</ul>
The user interface should be self explanatory and fail safe but you can obtain help for each step by hovering over The
corresponding <span style="font-family:Courier">?</span> symbol. If there's a problem just click <em>Reload</em>.
<p class="small"><strong>Browser compatibility:</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>Firefox</em> (3): full functionality</li>
<li><em>Opera</em> (10): full functionality</li>
<li><em>WebKit (Safari/Chrome)</em>: backspace in graphical simulation does not work</li>
<li><em>Internet Explorer:</em> unknown, probably none</li>
</ul>
