Hybrid systems are networks of interacting digital and analog
devices. Control systems for inherently unstable aircraft and
computer aided manufacturing are typical applications for hybrid
systems, but due to the rapid development of processor and circuit
technology modern cars and consumer electronics use software to
control physical processes. The identifying characteristic of
hybrid systems is that they incorporate both continuous components
governed by differential equations and also digital components -
digital computers, sensors, and actuators controlled by programs.
This volume of invited refereed papers is inspired by a workshop on
the Theory of Hybrid Systems, held at the Technical University,
Lyngby, Denmark, in October 1992, and by a prior Hybrid Systems
Workshop, held at Cornell University, USA, in June 1991, organized
by R.L. Grossman and A. Nerode. Some papers are the final versions
of papers presented at these workshops and some are invited papers
from other researchers who were not able to attend these workshops.
The Structure of Digital Computing takes a fifty year perspective
on computing and discusses what is significant, what is novel, what
endures, and why it is all so confusing. The book tries to balance
two point of views: digital computing as viewed from a business
perspective, where the focus is on marketing and selling, and
digital computing from a research perspective, where the focus is
on developing fundamentally new technology.
