Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDs) permeate our world, being of
great importance in modern manufacturing processes, transportation
and various forms of computer and communications networking.
Modeling and Control of Discrete-event Dynamic Systems begins
with the mathematical basics required for the study of DEDs and
moves on to present various tools used in their modeling and
control. Among the instruments explained are many forms of Petri
net, Grafcet (the sequential function chart), state charts, formal
languages and max-plus algebra; all essential for control students
to become proficient with DEDs and to make use of them in practical
applications. In order to assist tutors with the use of this book
in classes it contains fully-worked examples and end-of-chapter
exercises with a pdf solutions manual available from
springer.com.
Realistic industrial examples of varying complexity illustrate
the concepts and methods under discussion. Using them, readers will
be able to understand DEDs quickly and to master the control
methods to analyze and improve the performance of their
systems.
Final-year undergraduates and graduates embarking on further
courses of study in control, manufacturing and process engineering,
computer studies or operations research will find Modeling and
Control of Discrete-event Dynamic Systems an invaluable companion
to learning about the control of this increasingly important class
of systems.
