This paper considers a new class of discrete event systems under partial observations. The problem is presented within the background of a manufacturing process where workpieces are loaded and transported, and this process is controlled with the partial information collected by sensors. The model extracted is novel because the observation of an event does not only depend on an event itself, but...

This thesis is concerned with how grammar determines the phonological consequence of syntactic dislocation. It centers on a hypothesis regarding the linearization of movement chains the Edge Condition on Copy Deletion, eventually named the Edge Condition in the last chapter, when it receives its final formulation. The empirical phenomena under investigation include (i) predicate cleft construct...

Towards a general concept for human supervision of autonomous robot teams supporting the specific strengths of humans and robots, a communication concept between robots and a human supervisor is presented in this paper. The communication goal is to let the supervisor control a robot team with high-level commands, e. g., by adapting mission details and influencing task allocation in a manner tha...
