Inhaltsangabe

This book aims at providing a view of the current trends in the development of research on Synthesis and Control of Discrete Event Systems. Papers col­ lected in this volume are based on a selection of talks given in June and July 2001 at two independent meetings: the Workshop on Synthesis of Concurrent Systems, held in Newcastle upon Tyne as a satellite event of ICATPN/ICACSD and organized by Ph. Darondeau and L. Lavagno, and the Symposium on the Supervisory Control of Discrete Event Systems (SCODES), held in Paris as a satellite event of CAV and organized by B. Caillaud and X. Xie. Synthesis is a generic term that covers all procedures aiming to construct from specifications given as input objects matching these specifications. The­ ories and applications of synthesis have been studied and developped for long in connection with logics, programming, automata, discrete event systems, and hardware circuits. Logics and programming are outside the scope of this book, whose focus is on Discrete Event Systems and Supervisory Control. The stress today in this field is on a better applicability of theories and algorithms to prac­ tical systems design. Coping with decentralization or distribution and caring for an efficient realization of the synthesized systems or controllers are of the utmost importance in areas so diverse as the supervision of embedded or man­ ufacturing systems, or the implementation of protocols in software or in hard­ ware.

Reseña del editor

The first motivation of Synthesis and Control of Discrete Event Systems is to inform the reader of recent developments and current trends in system synthesis. This is a field of active research aiming to supply efficient techniques for developing safe systems in various areas, covering control of embedded and manufacturing systems, distributed implementation of systems and protocols, and hardware circuits. In all areas, considerations about distribution and care for an efficient implementation of the synthesised systems play an increasing role, justified by better applicability to problems encountered in the design of practical systems.

The second motivation of the book, which is a selection of presentations given at two workshops on synthesis of controllers and on synthesis of concurrent systems, is to incite the research community to establish stronger links between two subjects that could be better related, as several presentations do show. The selected papers are research papers ranging from theory to practice, with automata, products of automata and Petri nets playing a prominent role. All areas mentioned above as areas of application of system synthesis are covered by some of the selected papers.
