Decentralized supervisory control with communicating controllers
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2000Summary: The decentralized control problem for discrete-event systems addressed in this paper is that of several communicating supervisory controllers, each with different information, working in concert to exactly achieve a given legal sublanguage of the uncontrolled system's language model. A novel information structure model is presented for dealing

Reliability and supervisory control
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003Abstract This paper is intended to provide a brief tutorial on using Markov models for reliability analysis of fault tolerant control systems. Fault coverage is viewed as a means to effecting supervisory control that maximizes the overall system reliability dictated by the Markov failure process.

Design of supervisory machine control
2003 European Control Conference (ECC), 2003This paper presents a basis for a framework for the design of supervisory machine control. Machine behaviour is described using the task resource system (TRS) paradigm. Analysis is performed to classify system descriptions leaving room for control choices up to a certain extent: selected untimed TRS, instantiated unselected TRS and TRS constraints.

Control situations in supervisory control
Cognition, Technology & Work, 2004It is widely acknowledged that the safe and efficient supervisory control of complex dynamic systems requires that human operators are capable of checking the state of the controlled system against given performance criteria. In addition, it is important to consider how changes in the state of the controlled system and its environment influence the ...

Supervisory Control with Partial Observations [PDF]
, 2013 In discrete-event systems it is often not realistic to assume that all events of such a system are observable. This is either because some events are typically not directly observable from their very nature (such as failure events, internal hidden events, etc.) or it is too costly to have sensors and observe every event that can occur in the system ...

Supervisory Control and Optimization
2010In the first part of this chapter, structures and algorithms of Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) and on-line process set-point optimization are presented, corresponding to implementations in the DiaSter system. The principle of MPC is first recalled, as a special case of the general principle of ”open loop with feedback optimal control”.MPC is now ...

On supervisory control of sequential behaviors
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 1992This paper belongs to the realm of discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS's). It addresses the supervisory synthesis problem for controlling the sequential behaviors of such systems under complete as well as partial information, through the use of synchronous composition of the plants and the supervisors.

Supervisory control and remote metering
Electrical Engineering, 1936Supervisory control and remote metering installations on the electrified section of the Pennsylvania Railroad are outlined herein. A brief history of the growth of electrification on this railroad, and of the supervisory control and remote metering installations which accompanied the electrification is given, together with the locations at which the ...

Supervisory Control Algorithms
2013In all types of hybrid vehicles, a supervisory controller must determine how the powertrain components should operate, in order to satisfy the power demand of the drive line in the most convenient way. The main objective of that optimization is the reduction of the overall energy use, typically in the presence of various constraints due to driveability

Supervisory control of software systems
IEEE Transactions on Computers, 2004We present a new paradigm to control software systems based on the supervisory control theory (SCT). Our method uses the SCT to model the execution of a software application by restricting the actions of the OS with little or no modifications in the underlying OS.
