This unique textbook comprehensively introduces the field of discrete event systems, offering a breadth of coverage that makes the material accessible to reader

Computer modeling and simulation (M&S) allows engineers to study and analyze complex systems. Discrete-event system (DES)-M&S is used in modern management, indu

Stochastic discrete-event systems (SDES) capture the randomness in choices due to activity delays and the probabilities of decisions. This book delivers a compr

The field of discrete event systems has emerged to provide a formal treatment of many of the man-made systems such as manufacturing systems, communica tion netw

This monograph presents a systematic top-down approach to distributed control synthesis of discrete-event systems (DES). The approach is called supervisor local
