FSM framework required

Question

Please recommend framework for Finite State Machine creation and simulation. I am aware of Stateflow package in Matlab, but are there any other good choices? It shouldn't be only Matlab. Frameworks on Java, R or Python are also ok.

What I am basically trying to do is to evolve automata for binary sequence prediction problem, like shown in this article

Thanks.

Consider Ragel. It has a manual and a good amount of examples; I find the documentation superior to that of AT&T Research's FSM Tools (which consisted of a couple manpages and sparse examples).
