A graph-theoretic approach to distributed control over networks
We consider a network of control systems connected over a graph. Considering the graph structure as constraints on the set of permissible controllers, we show that such systems ar...

On-line Optimal Control of a Class of Discrete Event Systems with Real-Time Constraints
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
