Modeling and Control of Discrete-event Dynamic Systems: with Petri Nets and Other Tools (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)

From the reviews:

"This is a textbook which offers a very attractive material for learning / teaching discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS). It is authored by two scientists … . Besides illustrative examples, each chapter proposes exercises and problems for a deeper training. The exposition style is very accessible and recommends the book for different levels in studying DEDS. The potential beneficiaries are under- and postgraduate students, educators, practitioners and researchers working in control, manufacturing, computer and other engineering areas, where DEDS provide indispensable instruments for analysis and design."
