Discrete-event systems are an important class of dynamical systems, featuring discrete state spaces and event-driven dynamics. To control a system involves influencing its behaviour to achieve a desired goal. The implementation of this influence requires the synthesis of devices (or controllers) that incorporate a variety of mathematical techniques. A decentralized or distributed control problem arises when the system requires more than one controller to achieve the desired system behaviour. Additionally, an exact solution may not exist without the introduction of communication between controllers. The contributions of the research program will provide new ways to model and control quantitative decentralized and distributed systems using more realistic communication protocols. In addition, the application of control theoretic and optimization techniques to service-oriented architectures will aid in the design of what has nobly been called the "future internet".

离散事件系统是一类重要的动力系统，具有离散的状态空间和事件驱动的动力学特性。控制一个系统涉及影响其行为以实现预期目标。这种影响的实现需要综合各种数学技术的设备（或控制器）。当系统需要一个以上的控制器来实现所需的系统行为时，就会出现分散或分布式控制问题。另外，如果不引入控制器之间的通信，可能不存在精确的解决方案。 该研究计划的贡献将提供新的方法来建模和控制使用更现实的通信协议的定量分散和分布式系统。此外，控制理论和优化技术在面向服务的体系结构中的应用将有助于设计被称为“未来互联网”的东西。
