   Christopher F Clark to All   
   Who first invented dotted-item notation?   
   22 May 22 12:32:29   
   
   From: christopher.f.clark@compiler-resources.com   
      
   I know the notation from LR(0) machine construction, but also know   
   that Gluskhov used it in his solution to NFA construction.  Earley   
   also used the notation to describe his method if I understand right.   
   I'm presuming that there is some first use of the notation.  Do we   
   know who invented it?   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
   Chris
