This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications DISCRETE EVENT
SYSTEMS, MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS is based
on the proceedings of a workshop that was an integral part of the
1992-93 IMA program on "Control Theory. " The study of discrete
event dynamical systems (DEDS) has become rapidly popular among
researchers in systems and control, in communication networks, in
manufacturing, and in distributed computing. This development has
created problems for re searchers and potential "consumers" of the
research. The first problem is the veritable Babel of languages,
formalisms, and approaches, which makes it very difficult to
determine the commonalities and distinctions among the competing
schools of approaches. The second, related, problem arises from the
different traditions, paradigms, values, and experience that
scholars bring to their study of DEDS, depending on whether they
come from control, com munication, computer science, or
mathematical logic. As a result, intellectual exchange among
scholars becomes compromised by unexplicated assumptions. The
purpose of the Workshop was to promote exchange among scholars
representing some of the major "schools" of thought in DEDS with
the hope that (1) greater clarity will be achieved thereby, and (2)
cross-fertilization will lead to more fruitful questions. We thank
P. R. Kumar and P. P. Varaiya for organizing the workshop and
editing the proceedings. We also take this opportunity to thank the
National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office, whose
financial support made the workshop possible. A vner Friedman
