Abstract
This paper reports on a new software platform called V AUCANSON and dedicated to the computation with automata and transducers. Its main feature is the capacity of dealing with automata whose labels may belong to various algebraic structures. The paper successively describes the main features of the V AUCANSON platform, including the fact that the very rich data structure used to implement automata does not weigh too much on the performance, shows how V AUCANSON allows to program algorithms on automata in a way which is very close to the mathematical expression of the algorithm and finally explains the main choices of the programming design that enable to achieve both genericity and efficiency.
