Book Description:
This unique textbook comprehensively introduces discrete event systems, offering a breadth of coverage that makes the material accessible to readers of varied backgrounds. The book emphasizes a unified modeling framework that transcends specific application areas, coherently linking the following topics: language and automata theory, supervisory control, Petri net theory, Markov chains and queueing theory, discrete-event simulation, and concurrent estimation techniques.
Topics and features:
- detailed treatment of automata and language theory in the context of discrete event systems, including application to state estimation and diagnosis
- comprehensive coverage of centralized and decentralized supervisory control of partially-observed systems
- timed models, including timed automata and hybrid automata
- stochastic models for discrete event systems and controlled Markov chains
- discrete event simulation
- an introduction to stochastic hybrid systems
- new in the third edition: opacity properties, enhanced coverage of supervisory control, an overview of latest software tools
sensitivity analysis and optimization of discrete event and hybrid systems
This proven textbook is essential to advanced-level students and researchers in various disciplines where the study of discrete event systems is relevant: control, communications, computer engineering, computer science, manufacturing engineering, transportation networks, operations research, and industrial engineering.
