Hello,
 
I am pleased to announce a new publication:
 
Supervisory Control of Concurrent Systems
A Petri Net Structural Approach
 
Marian V. Iordache, LeTourneau University, Longview, TX, USA
Panos J. Antsaklis, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, USA
 
June 2006 / Approx. 304 pp. / 100 illus. / Hardcover / $79.95 / ISBN: 0-8176-4357-5 / Birkhaeuser
Series - Systems and Control: Foundations and Applications
 
This book addresses the design of effective tools for correct-by-construction synthesis of supervisors for systems and specifications represented in the discrete-event framework. The approach employed uses Petri nets as discrete-event models and structural methods for the synthesis of supervisors, and may lead to significant computational benefits.
 
Highlighting recent progress in the design of effective supervisors by structural methods, the book represents a novel contribution to the field. One of the main features of the presentation is the demonstration that structural methods can address a variety of supervisor specifications under diverse supervision settings. Many of the presented methods have been realized in software as functions of a MATLAB toolbox, which have been used to solve many of the examples of the book.
