The theory of supervisory control of discrete event systems is extended to the real-time setting. The real-time behavior of a system is represented by the set of all possible time...
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...
Abstract-- Switched systems evolve over a sequence of continuous modes of operation, transitioning between modes in a discrete manner. Assuming a mode sequence is known, the evolut...
An in-circuit diagnostic test structure triggered by a light pulse captures logic states on-chip with picosecond timing accuracy, and the results read out via a scan chain thus pr...
Abstract. In this paper, we define Time Petri Nets with Inhibitor Hyperarcs (IHTPN) as an extension of T-time Petri nets where time is associated with transitions. In this model, ...
