Networked control of discrete-event systems

在这个项目中，网络离散事件系统被理解为数字耦合控制子系统，必须解决自治和协作任务。该项目的目标是开发子系统的控制方法，这些子系统必须在自主和合作操作模式之间自主切换。应发展网络系统建模和分析方法，将自主控制任务的被控子系统的详细模型与协作子系统的全局模型相结合。在对输入输出自动机控制进行初步研究的基础上，应发展一种新的网络控制设计方法，使子系统能够根据自身的局部信息决定在何种情况下与其他子系统通信，以及交换哪些信息，以解决协同任务。新的综合方法的适用性应通过将其应用于试验工厂来证明。

In this project networked discrete-event systems are understood as digitally coupled controlled subsystems, which have to solve autonomous and cooperative tasks. The project aim is to develop control methods for the subsystems, which have to switch autonomously between an autonomous and a cooperative mode of operation. Methods for modelling and analysing networked systems should be developed, which combine the detailed models of the controlled subsystems for autonomous control tasks with global models of the cooperating subsystems. Starting with a preliminary work on the control of input/output automata a new method for the design of networked control should be developed with which the subsystems are able to decide depending on their local information in which situations they have to communicate with other subsystems and what information they have to exchange in order to solve cooperative task. The applicability of the new integrated method shall be demonstrated by applying it to a pilot plant.
