The notion of switched discrete event systems (DES) has been introduced recently. This is a
class of DES where each automaton is the composition of two basic automata, but with …

In this paper, we propose a framework for designing suitable switching control decisions for
discrete event systems (DES) whose structures change as they develop in different …

In this note, we study a particular setting for the reconfiguration of discrete event systems
(DES) that is applicable to the control of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS). We …

In modern manufacturing systems, the current state of the system is not always obvious. In
many situations, such knowledge is needed to lead the system to a specific state such that a …

cadre de l'Automatique en général. Elle comporte trois parties distinctes. La première partie …

This paper deals with operating mode management of Discrete Event Systems (DES) and
this contribution is based on Supervisory Control Theory (SCT). Our aim is to extend SCT by …

Most supervisors of discrete-event systems we designed before are inadaptable to
reconfiguration due to the change of plant structures or the modification of specifications …

This work presents a model of discrete event systems (DES) consisted of a synchronized
deterministic finite automaton with a data structure. The model, denominated DES with …

Hybrid systems combine both continuous dynamics and discrete-event behavior that interact
with each other. The continuous part of the system is abstracted by discrete variables. The …
