In my previous article, I highlighted the importance of state machine thinking in creating robust and dependable systems. Now, let's delve deeper into the mathematical underpinnings of converting ...

A small team of researchers at the University of Manchester has developed a technique for creating a molecular-based, finite-state machine. Their research was published in the journal Nature. In ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...
