In our previous work, a framework for the hierarchical design of discrete event systems has been introduced that is based on a notion of inputs and outputs. I/O-plant models describe the interaction of each subsystem with the operator (or controller) and the environment. By alternation of subsystem composition and controller synthesis, a hierarchy of controllers is obtained that complements a hierarchy of environment models. An admissibility condition was presented that implies liveness while allowing for abstraction-based control. In this paper, we address the according controller synthesis problem and present an algorithmic synthesis procedure that respects admissibility and yields a solution to this problem. We illustrate our statements by the conceptional application example of a transport unit.

On maximal permissiveness of hierarchical and modular supervisory control approaches for discrete event systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2008-08-26) Recently, several efficient modular and hierarchical approaches for the control of discrete event systems (DES) have been proposed. Although these methods are very suitable for dealing with the state space explosion problem, their common limitation is that either maximal permissiveness is not addressed or unnecessarily restrictive conditions are required in order to ensure maximally permissive control. In this paper we develop a unified framework for the investigation of maximal permissiveness of modular co...
Nonblocking hierarchical control of decentralized des Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Moor, Thomas (null; 2005-12-01) This work considers a hierarchical control architecture for a class of discrete event systems which can also be applied to decentralized control systems. It is shown that nonblocking supervisory control on the high level of the hierarchy results in nonblocking and hierarchically consistent control on the low level. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.
Communication of distributed discrete-event supervisors on a switched network Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (2008-05-30) In order to tackle the controller synthesis problem for large-scale discrete-event systems, recent approaches suggest the design of interacting modular or decentralized supervisors. In these works, information exchange between the supervisors is either required implicitly by the synchronization of shared events or explicitly by the communication of events or symbols. However, it is not discussed how the communication can be realized if the supervisors are implemented in distributed controller devices that a...
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...
Fuzzy Hybrid Systems modeling with application in decision making and control Boutalis, Yiannis; Moor, Thomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-11-28) Hybrid Systems are systems containing both discrete event and continuous variable components. Many recent contributions address crisp situations, where ambiguity or subjectivity in the measured data is absent. In this paper, we propose Fuzzy Hybrid Systems to account for inaccurate measurements and uncertain dynamics. We present a strategy to determine the most appropriate control actions in a sampled data setting. The proposed approach is based on three basic steps that are performed in each sampling perio...
