This paper reviews a proposal for the modular analysis of Petri nets and its applicability to factory automation systems. It presents new algorithms to harness this modular analys...
Decomposition is used to manage system complexity, but is problematic for emergent properties such as system safety. Previously, we introduced Indirect Control Path Analysis (ICPA...
Abstract. The engineering of grown systems poses fundamentally different system integration challenges than ordinary engineering of static designs. On the one hand, a grown system ...
—The paper addresses modular hierarchical design (composition) of a management system for smart homes. The management system consists of security subsystem (access control, alarm...
