Quantitative Measure For Discrete Event Supervisory Control

"Quantitative Measure for Discrete Event Supervisory Control presents a novel method for discrete event decision and control of complex systems, and provides applications for burgeoning technological needs in engineering (i.e., multi-agent human and robotic systems, aircraft, and electric power generation systems), as well as control of software systems and malicious executables. Using Supervisory Control Theory (SCT), a tool to model and control human-engineered complex systems, this text initiates new concepts in quantitative treatment of SCT, as a much needed augmentation to existing research on the diagnosis and control of SCT. This survey is the first comprehensive treatment of a language-theoretic quantitative approach to discrete event supervisory decision and control." "Compiling some of the leading research in the field, this volume contains essential techniques and advanced applications for researchers and graduate students in engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics. Additionally, the book may be an important resource for students in other disciplines, such as physical sciences, biological sciences, management sciences, social sciences, and economics."--BOOK JACKET.Phoha, Vir V. is the author of 'Quantitative Measure For Discrete Event Supervisory Control ' with ISBN 9780387021089 and ISBN 0387021086.
