Discussion: Discrete analysis systems

Discrete analysis systems.

Discrete analysis systems are so called because the samples are treated and carried through the major part of the analytical process in separate containers. Such systems can be very simple involving only a diluting module and a colorimeter or be highly sophisticated multichannel machines. Up to the present time laboratory automation (or strictly 'mechanization') has been dominated by the contin...

Decentralized prognosis of fuzzy discrete-event systems

This paper gives a decentralized approach to the problem of failure prognosis in the framework of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). A notion of co-predictability is formalized for decentralized prognosis of FDESs, where several local agents with fuzzy observability rather than crisp observability are used in the prognosis task. An FDES is said to be co-predictable if each faulty event can be...

Recent Developments in Discrete Event Systems

This article is a brief exposure of the process approach to a newly emerging area called "discrete event systems" in control theory and summarizes some of the recent developments in this area. Discrete event systems is an area of research that is developing within the interstices of computer, control and communication sciences. The basic direction of research addresses issues in the analysis an...
