The elemental building block, called the basic CFM, can be used in the modeling, simulation and sample path analysis of a large class of flow networks. Under certain conditions it constitutes a discrete event dynamic system (DEDS); for simulation thereof there exists a Lindley-like equation. Following the presentation of the basic CFM as a general modeling device, the paper discusses some continuity properties of the attendant flow processes, and points out the possible unbiasedness of LPA for various performance measures.","PeriodicalId":137513,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat.

MPSC was extended from prioritized synchronous composition (PSC) by Kumar and Heymann in order to permit systems interaction with their environment via interface masks. In their paper they solved the supervisory control problem under the assumption that the set of driven events is empty. In this paper the above assumption is removed. We first solve the supervisor synthesis problem for controlling the plant behavior as observed at the interface level, and then derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a supervisor for controlling the plant behavior as observed at the plant level. We establish a link between MPSC and PSC by showing that a supervisory control problem in the setting of MPSC can be transferred to a supervisory control problem in the setting of PSC under certain conditions. The results of this paper can also be used to derive the main result of Heymann and Lin (1998) which first showed that the supervisory control problem in the nondeterministic setting can be reduced to one in the deterministic setting.","PeriodicalId":137513,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat.

Owing to economic considerations, these expensive machines are always shared among many products or a product at different stages of its manufacturing process. The machines require setups between the production of different products or different entries of the same product. Since a product may enter a machine several times for processing, the manufacturing system is often called a re-entrant shop. We consider the problem of reducing mean and variance of the cycle time in semiconductor manufacturing environments. Manufacturing systems are usually controlled in two major ways. In the first, a release policy specifies when new lots are to be released into the system. Whereas in the second, a scheduling policy controls the lots already in the system. It decides which lot is to be processed next at each machine, when it becomes available for processing. A bulk of previous research on the control of manufacturing systems focuses on the control of bottleneck machines. Performance measures of a manufacturing system depends on the ways in which the conflicts are resolved between products competing for the machines. Lu et al. (1994) develop a class of scheduling policies for systems where there is no machine setup required when switching products. We deal with a more general situation in which the machines require setups. We introduce scheduling policies incorporating setups, since the policies developed in the literature for systems requiring no setups are found to perform poorly for systems requiring considerable setups.","PeriodicalId":137513,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat.

The scheme is based on a two-stage adaptive Kalman filter for simultaneous state and fault parameter estimation, statistical decisions for fault detection, diagnosis and activation of controller reconfiguration. Using the information provided by the fault detection and diagnosis scheme, the reconfigurable controller is designed automatically using an eigenstructure assignment technique. To eliminate the steady-state tracking error, a feedforward reconfigurable control law is also incorporated. The proposed approach has been evaluated using two examples. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach have been demonstrated in comparison with existing reconfigurable controllers which are based on linear quadratic regulator and other eigenstructure assignment techniques.","PeriodicalId":137513,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat.

Averaging is performed on the fast time system, while slow time is 'frozen.' This creates an averaged equation which is slowly time-varying, hence the terminology of partial averaging. We show that solutions of the original FDE and its corresponding partially averaged equation remain close on arbitrarily long but finite time intervals. Next, assuming that the partially averaged system has an exponentially stable equilibrium point and that we restrict our interest to initial conditions that lie in the domain of exponential stability, the finite-time averaging results are extended to infinite time. In the special case of pointwise delays, exponential stability of the averaged system can be related to the frozen-time eigenvalues of its linearization.","PeriodicalId":137513,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 38th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat.
