We introduce PLC-Automata as a new class of automata which are tailored to deal with real-time properties of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). These devices are often used in...
Fuzzy controllers are designed to work with knowledge in the form of linguistic control rules. But the translation of these linguistic rules into the framework of fuzzy set theory ...
This paper presents a completely systematic design procedure for asynchronous controllers. The initial step is the construction of a signal transition graph (STG, an interpreted P...
Even though the design of business processes most often has to consolidate the knowledge of several process stakeholders, this fact is utilized only to a limited extent by existing...
Abstract. Formal methods emphasizes the need for a top-down approach when developing large reliable software systems. Refinements are map step by step abstract algebraic specificat...
