This paper introduces the concept of a hybrid system and some of the challenges associated
with the stability of such systems, including the issues of guaranteeing stability of switched …

Between the well-studied areas of discontinuous control [1],[2] on the one hand and
sampled data control [3] on the other lies the largely unexplored area of logic-based …

Most networked systems of scientific interest are characterized by temporal links, meaning
the network's structure changes over time. Link temporality has been shown to hinder many …

Switched linear systems have a long history in the control literature but-along with hybrid
systems more generally-they have enjoyed a particular growth in interest since the 1990s …

The study of complex adaptive systems has yielded great insight into how complex, organic-
like structures can evolve order and purpose over time. Business organizations, typified by …

This book is about dynamical systems that are" hybrid" in the sense that they contain both
continuous and discrete state variables. Recently there has been increased research …

The study of the stability properties of switched and hybrid systems gives rise to a number of
interesting and challenging mathematical problems. The objective of this paper is to outline …

Based on fluid-dynamic and many-particle (car-following) simulations of traffic flows in
(urban) networks, we study the problem of coordinating incompatible traffic flows at …

This paper investigates the controllability and reachability of switched linear control systems.
It is proven that both the controllable and reachable sets are subspaces of the total space …

Supervisory Control of Discrete Event Systems Using Petri Nets presents a novel approach
to its subject. The concepts of supervisory control and discrete event systems are explained …
