Invariant-Based Supervisory Control of Switched Discrete Event Systems

Partial Observation in Distributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems

Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...

Discrete Supervisory Control of Switched Linear Systems

This contribution deals with the synthesis of discrete supervisory control for switched linear systems. Via two successive approximation steps, this hybrid control problem is transformed into a purely discrete problem. The latter can then be solved using a slightly modified version of P. J. Ramadge’s and W. M. Wonham’s “supervisory control theory”. By embedding both approximation steps within J...

Supervisory Control Of Discrete Event Systems

Supervisory Control of Distributed Discrete-Event Systems

A distributed discrete-event system consists of an interconnection of two or more subsystems. Control of a distributed system demands a set of controllers each receiving the observation stream of a local subsystem and providing a subset of enabled events to that subsystem. Several control architectures are defined in this chapter: Distributed control, distributed control with communication, coo...

Supervisory Control of Interacting Discrete Event Systems

In this paper we present a theory for decentralized supervisory control of a general class of multiprocess discrete event systems referred to as interacting discrete event systems (IDES). An IDES is a discrete event system that consists of a number of components working concurrently and possibly restricted by a well-defined interaction specification. We extend the notion of decentralized superv...
