Summary

A notion, of “exit-automaton” is introduced to play a role analogous to “machine scheme” or “program scheme”. Exit-automata and machines are equipped with algebraic structure leading to a simple characterization of their behaviors.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Begriff des „Ausgangs-Automaten“wird eingeführt, welcher eine analoge Rolle zu den Begriffen „Maschinen-Schema“oder „Programm-Schema“spielen soll. Ausgangs-Automaten und Maschinen sind mit einer algebraischen Struktur versehen, die eine einfache Charakterisierung ihres Verhaltens ermöglicht.
