Partial Observation in Distributed 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...

On Coparanormality in Distributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems

Decomposition and localization of a supervisor both are reduction methods in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems.Decomposition is employed to reduce the number of events and localization is used to reduce the number of states of local controllers.In decomposition of a supervisor both observation and control scopes are restricted, whereas in localization only control author...

Supervisory Control of Real-time Discrete Event Systems under Partial Observation

In this paper, we address the issue of synthesizing an optimal supervisor for real-time discrete event systems modeled by timed automata and under partial observation. Our approach is based on a method of transformation of timed automata into particular finite state automata called Set-Exp-Automata. That is, given the timed automata of the plant and the specification, we construct two Set-Exp-A...

Distributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems with Communication Delay

This paper identifies a property of delay-robustness in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES) with communication delays. In previous work a distributed supervisory control problem has been investigated on the assumption that inter-agent communications take place with negligible delay. From an applications viewpoint it is desirable to relax this constraint and identify ...

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...
