Download or read book Stability Analysis of Discrete Event Systems written by Kevin M. Passino and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1998-03-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative presentation on an important emerging field. Discrete event systems are ubiquitous in modern society, and we rely heavily on their proper design, correct operation, and performance. Written by leaders in the field who have helped establish the foundations of the theory and applied the methods to a wide variety of applications, Stability Analysis of Discrete Event Systems is useful both as a textbook (homework problems are included) and for researchers in systems and control theory. This book includes many examples and three detailed case studies: computer network load balancing, manufacturing system scheduling, and intelligent control systems. Important features of this book include: A concise introduction to discrete event system modeling—including Petri nets Comprehensive treatment of stability concepts and Lyapunov analysis methods Stability of Petri models Case studies in Computer network load balancing system behavior and analysis Manufacturing system scheduler design and analysis Intelligent control system modeling and analysis (for expert control systems) An outlook on the role of stability concepts and analysis in intelligent, autonomous, and hybrid systems.
