State explosion is a fundamental problem in the analysis and synthesis of discrete event systems. Continuous Petri nets can be seen as a relaxation of discrete models allowing more...
This paper presents an efficient online mode estimation algorithm for a class of sensor-rich, distributed embedded systems, the so-called hybrid systems. A central problem in dist...

The conventional forbidden state problem for discrete event systems is concerned with the issue of synthesizing a maximally permissive control policy to prevent a discrete event s...
In this paper, timed Petri nets are used to model and control hybrid systems. Petri nets are used instead of finite automata primarily because of the advantages they offer in de...

Abstract. When dealing with real systems, it is unrealistic to suppose that observations can be totally ordered according to their emission dates. The partially ordered observation...
