Providing students with a clear introduction to discrete-event systems, petri nets, automata and max-plus algebra, this volume includes industrial case studies for a rounded assessment of problems in control and fault diagnosis for distributed systems. Most of the material in this book has been presented during a Ph.D. school held in Cagliari, Italy, in June 2011.

This book describes how control of distributed systems can be advanced by an integration of control, communication, and computation. The global control objectives are met by judicious combinations of local and nonlocal observations taking advantage of various forms of communication exchanges between distributed controllers. Control architectures are considered according to increasing degrees of cooperation of local controllers: fully distributed or decentralized control, control with communication between controllers, coordination control, and multilevel control. The book covers also...
