| Abstract: | A finite collectionP of finite sets tiles the integers iff the integers can be expressed as a disjoint union of translates of members ofP. We associate with such a tiling a doubly infinite sequence with entries fromP. The set of all such sequences is a sofic system, called a tiling system. We show that, up to powers of the shift, every
shift of finite type can be realized as a tiling system.
