Implementation of Discrete-Event Control Solutions

Despite intensive research on and expansion of the theoretical aspects of Discrete-Event Systems (DES) control theory, a limited amount of research has been reported on its implementation and integration into existing systems. Similarly, a means of identifying which types of systems are good or poor candidates for application of DES control theory and respective methodologies for its implementation require more investigation. We have examined a class of low-level systems for application of DES control theory and proposed a methodology for their implementation. Furthermore, we have developed a software suite with an emphasis on human-computer interaction to facilitate the application of DES control theory in general.
