GIDDES is a software tool for the design, analysis and control of discrete-event systems. Written entirely in Java, GIDDES exists in several formats: as a stand-alone tool and as a graphical front-end for other discrete-event system software tools. These tools can be incorporated into GIDDES using its plug-in architecture.

GIDDES is designed to respect the Windows User Interface guideline, thus users can expect a familiar and intuitive user interface.

GIDDES is compatable with Sun Microsystem's J2SE 1.5.0. The automatic graph layout software in GIDDES is powered by JGraph.
