Introduction to Discrete Event Systems: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Introduction to Discrete Event Systems" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This unique textbook comprehensively introduces the field of discrete event systems, offering a breadth of coverage that makes the material accessible to readers of varied backgrounds. The book emphasizes a unified modeling framework that transcends specific application areas, linking the following topics in a coherent manner: language and automata theory, supervisory control, Petri net theory, Markov chains and queueing theory, discrete-event simulation, and concurrent estimation techniques.

Topics and features:

    detailed treatment of automata and language theory in the context of discrete event systems, including application to state estimation and diagnosis
  • comprehensive coverage of centralized and decentralized supervisory control of partially-observed systems
  • timed models, including timed automata and hybrid automata
  • stochastic models for discrete event systems and controlled Markov chains
  • discrete event simulation
  • an introduction to stochastic hybrid systems
  • sensitivity analysis and optimization of discrete event and hybrid systems
  • new in the third edition: opacity properties, enhanced coverage of supervisory control, overview of latest software tools

This proven textbook is essential to advanced-level students and researchers in a variety of disciplines where the study of discrete event systems is relevant: control, communications, computer engineering, computer science, manufacturing engineering, transportation networks, operations research, and industrial engineering.

Christos G. Cassandras is Distinguished Professor of Engineering, Professor of Systems Engineering, and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University.

Stphane Lafortune is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Preface Third Edition

The third edition of Introduction to Discrete Event Systems is available as both a print copy and an e-book with hyperlinking capability. We hope the readers will appreciate this new option.

The third edition is a superset of the second one, with new material added principally in Chaps.. These additions are based on our teaching of discrete event systems courses at Boston University and at the University of Michigan, and they reflect active research trends in discrete event systems since the publication of the second edition. The additions consist of the inclusion of new topics as well as more thorough coverage of existing topics. For the benefit of readers familiar with the second edition, the main changes are summarized as follows.
  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 3 Chapter : additional examples of discrete event systems and more discussion on modeling.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 4 Chapter : new sections on opacity properties, labeled transitions systems, and formal verification and temporal logic; enhanced treatment of verification of diagnosability and codiagnosability properties, state space refinement, and strict subautomata; additional end-of-chapter problems.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 5 Chapter : new sections on state-based and liveness specifications, marking in specifications, maximal controllable and observable sublanguages, and marking supervisors; expanded treatment of control under partial observation, including state partition automata, supremal normal and controllable sublanguage, infimal observable and controllable superlanguage, and safe supervisors; more detailed treatment of verification of coobservability in decentralized control and safe decentralized supervision; additional end-of-chapter problems.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 6 Chapter : new section on event diagnosis.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 7 Chapter : updated section on discrete event simulation languages.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 8 Chapter : updated sections on extensions of IPA and on concurrent estimation.

While end-of-chapter references have been updated to reflect the new material included, we emphasize once again that these sections serve primarily as starting points for additional readings. The literature in discrete event systems is now vast and diverse, reflecting the growth in this field in the last 30 years.

Once again, we sincerely thank our colleagues, students, and readers for their constructive feedback over the last 12 years. We have tried to account for their comments in this third edition, but obviously our coverage of the growing field of discrete event systems is still very much incomplete. Nevertheless, we hope this book will continue to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the important class of dynamical systems known as discrete event systems. Several additional resources as well as software tools are mentioned throughout the book, although we have avoided explicit listings of URLs, since these tend to change frequently; however, the desired resources should be easily located by web searches.

Finally, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the leadership of Melissa Fearon and Wayne Wheeler at Springer throughout the course of this project.

Preface Second Edition
The second edition of Introduction to Discrete Event Systems improves upon the original edition in many respects. Immediately noticeable are the new cover and slightly larger format of this textbook. In terms of content, several revisions have been made to improve the presentation and enlarge the coverage. The most significant revisions are found in Chaps. 2, 3, 5, 10, and 11. We briefly describe the main changes for the benefit of readers familiar with the first edition.
  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 9 Several parts of Chap. 2 have been reorganized and additional material added on equivalence of automata and analysis (specifically, diagnosis) of discrete event systems.

  • Introduction to Discrete Event Systems - image 10
