Course Description

The notion of events and discrete event systems, and their relation to time-driven systems. Discrete event system states. Basics of graph theory. Modeling and simulation of discrete event systems. Static, dynamic and colored Petri nets. Basics of max-plus algebra. String algebra and matrix description of discrete event systems. Discrete-event system analysis (observability, stability, conflict, and deadlock). Synthesis of discrete-event systems and feedback. Controllability, control methods and design of supervisors. The concept of hybrid automata and modeling of hybrid systems. Examples of systems with discrete events (transport systems, warehouses, automated production lines, communication systems, networks).
