Abstract:
In recent years both industry and the academic world are becoming
more and more interested in techniques to model, analyse and control
complex systems such as flexible production systems, parallel
processing systems, railway traffic networks and so on. This kind of
systems are typical examples of discrete event dynamic systems, the
subject of an emerging discipline in systems and control theory. In
this paper we present an overview of some of the important
methodologies for discrete event dynamic systems. All these methods
have been studied intensively by the authors in the framework of
projects.
