  2. 2. On Modeling of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems : Using Symbolic Algebraic Methods

    Author : Johan Gunnarsson; Lennart Ljung; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The interest in discrete event systems (DEDS) has increased during the last years, due to the lack of methods and tools that are capable to handle the complexity of problems and tasks present in industry to day. In this thesis we will consider a symbolic and algebraic framework which will be used for modeling, analysis, and synthesis of DEDS. READ MORE
