About this Item

Gebraucht - Sehr gut Zustand: Sehr gut, Verlagsmängelex., 230 S. About this book: This book contains a collection of papers in the dynamically developing area of discrete event systems control. Research in this area is strongly motivateed by applications in flexibls manufacturing, communications, database management, traffic control, and concurrent ant real-time osoftware verification and design. The papers were presented at the Joint Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES 92) held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on August 26-28, 1992. The reflect four directions of current research: models of real-time system behaviour, methos of decreasing computation and model complexity, unifying approaches to modeling, and new results in performance analysis and optimisation of discrete event systems. The book presents recent results as well as several introductory papers on differnet subareas.

About this title

Synopsis

Research of discrete event systems is strongly motivated by applications in flex­ ible manufacturing, in traffic control and in concurrent and real-time software verification and design, just to mention a few important areas. Discrete event system theory is a promising and dynamically developing area of both control theory and computer science. Discrete event systems are systems with non-numerically-valued states, inputs, and outputs. The approaches to the modelling and control of these systems can be roughly divided into two groups. The first group is concerned with the automatic design of controllers from formal specifications of logical requirements. This re­ search owes much to the pioneering work of P.J. Ramadge and W.M. Wonham at the beginning of the eighties. The second group deals with the analysis and op­ timization of system throughput, waiting time, and other performance measures for discrete event systems. The present book contains selected papers presented at the Joint Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES'92) held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on Au­ gust 26-28, 1992 and organized by the Institute of Information Theory and Au­ tomation of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czechoslovakia, by the Automatic Control Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) , Zurich, Switzerland, and by the Department of Computing Science of the University of Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands.
