Supervisory Control Based on Vector Synchronous Product of Automata

Yangzhou Chen, W. M. Wonham
Abstract

The paper deals with the supervisory control problem based on the vector synchronous product (VSP) of automata. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such a controller is given which depends on a new concept of vs-controllability. A construct called vector synchronous product with communication is proposed. In addition, isomorph and homomorph of two VSPs are defined. Simplified traffic examples are provided in illustration.

Keywords

discrete-event system, supervisory control, vector synchronous product, vs-controllability.
