The Integrated Discrete-Event Systems Tool

A software tool for discrete-event systems problem-solving is described. The tool, called IDES, features a graphical user interface, allows input to be entered in a way that mimics pen-and-paper drawing, and allows output to LATEX and other formats. The current version of the tool does not yet include DES operations; rather it serves as a prototype for the software we are building that will incorporate DES operations
