Technical Committee on Discrete Event Systems [Technical Activities]

The Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems

Wearable computing is getting increasingly integrated in our every day life and the evolution of our community continues. In addition to the IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, TC WIS co-sponsors the IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) and a few other conferences and workshops. The TC helped initiate the IEEE Computer Society’s Pervasive C...

Technical Report: Directed Controller Synthesis of Discrete Event Systems

This paper presents a Directed Controller Synthesis (DCS) technique for discrete event systems. The DCS method explores the solution space for reactive controllers guided by a domain-independent heuristic. The heuristic is derived from an efficient abstraction of the environment based on the componentized way in which complex environments are described. Then by building the composition of the c...

International Glutamate Technical Committee

While sodium reduction in the diet is an important objective, when salt (NaCl) levels are reduced in foods, its palatability is also generally decreased. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer that contains about 12% sodium, which is less than half of that contained in regular table salt at about 39%. Therefore, by the addition of an appropriate amount of MSG, the palatability of low ...

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...
