This work investigates the supervisor synthesis for concurrent systems based on reduced system models with the intention of complexity reduction. It is assumed that the expected behavior (specification) is given on a subset of the system alphabet, and the system behavior is reduced to this alphabet. Supervisors are computed for each reduced subsystem employing the modular approach in [5] and the decentralized approach in [8]. Depending on the chosen architecture, we provide sufficient conditions for the consistent implementation of the reduced supervisors for the original system

Efficient Abstractions for the Supervisory Control of Modular Discrete Event Systems
Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-12-01)
The topic of this technical note is the nonblocking and maximally permissive abstraction-based supervisory control for modular discrete event systems (DES). It is shown, that an efficient abstraction technique, that was developed for the nonconflict verification of modular DES, is also suitable for the nonblocking supervisory control. Moreover, it is proved that this abstraction technique can be extended by the condition of local control consistency, in order to achieve maximally permissive supervision. Dif...
Hierarchical multitasking control of discrete event systems: Computation of projections and maximal permissiveness
Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Cury, José E.r. (null; 2010-12-01)
This paper extends previous results on the hierarchical and decentralized control of multitasking discrete event systems (MTDES). Colored observers, a generalization of the observer property, together with local control consistency, allow to derive sufficient conditions for synthesizing modular and hierarchical control that are both strongly nonblocking (SNB) and maximally permissive. A polynomial procedure to verify if a projection fulfills the above properties is proposed and in the case they fail for a g...
Hierarchical and decentralized multitasking control of discrete event systems
Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Cury, José E. R. (2007-12-01)
In this paper, a hierarchical and decentralized approach for composite discrete-event systems (DES) that have to fulfill multiple tasks is elaborated. Colored marking generators that can distinguish classes of tasks are used as the system model, and a colored abstraction procedure as well as sufficient conditions for nonblocking and hierarchically consistent control are developed. It is shown that the computational complexity for supervisor computation is reduced. A flexible manufacturing system example dem...
Redundant tasks in multitasking control of discrete event systems
Schmidt, Klaus Verner (null; 2009-12-01)
This paper addresses the control of multitasking DES that allow for dealing with liveness properties in the case where multiple classes of tasks have to be independently completed by the system. Colored marking generators (CMG) have been previously introduced as a model to consider multitasking control. The computational cost of the supervisor synthesis for multitasking DES grows with the number of classes of tasks. In this paper we investigate conditions under which removing tasks of the DES model does not...
Maximally Permissive Hierarchical Control of Decentralized Discrete Event Systems
SCHMİDT, KLAUS WERNER; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2011-04-01)
The subject of this paper is the synthesis of natural projections that serve as nonblocking and maximally permissive abstractions for the hierarchical and decentralized control of large-scale discrete event systems. To this end, existing concepts for nonblocking abstractions such as natural observers and marked string accepting (msa)-observers are extended by local control consistency (LCC) as a novel sufficient condition for maximal permissiveness. Furthermore, it is shown that, similar to the natural obse...
