Correct-by-construction synthesis is a cornerstone of the confluence of formal methods and
control theory towards designing safety-critical systems. Instead of following the time-tested …

The goal of this paper is to overview the historical development of the field of Petri nets
(PNs) from a Systems Theory and Automatic Control perspective. It is intentionally not meant …

A system is said to be opaque if a given secret behavior remains opaque (uncertain) to an
intruder who can partially observe system activities. This work addresses the verification of …

This work focuses on multi-objective scheduling problems of automated manufacturing
systems. Such an automated manufacturing system has limited resources and flexibility of …

In this paper, we study the verification and enforcement problems of strong infinite-step
opacity and k-step opacity for partially observed discrete-event systems modeled by finite …

The feedback control system with network-connected components is vulnerable to
cyberattacks. We study a problem of attack detection in supervisory control of discrete-event …

This paper deals with the identification problem of faulty behavior in a discrete event system,
assuming that the fault-free model of a system is given in terms of Petri nets, where the set of …

Cyber-physical systems have been highly integrated into many contemporary
infrastructures. As this integration deepens, the importance of protecting these systems from …

In this article, we present an active diagnosis method to enhance diagnosability of a plant
modeled by a finite-state automaton. Some properties of active diagnosis and silent blocking …

Business Process Model and Notation is known as a widely used standard for business
processes modeling. However, its main drawback is that it lacks formal semantics, leading to …
