-
Although recent, adaptive technology is already being used to solve complex problems in areas such as compiler construction, natural language processing, computational vision and robotics. This papers introduces AdapTools, a free-software environment that helps the development of solutions based on adaptive automata. Since adaptive automata generalize finite state and structured pushdown automata, AdapTools may also be used as a tool for the development of traditional automata, as well as an educational tool.
