9th IFAC Symposium on Large Scale Systems, BUCHAREST, Romania, 18 - 20 July 2001, pp.379-382
Interconnected discrete-event systems are studied in this paper. Petri nets are used to model these systems. A decentralized controller design approach, based on overlapping decompositions, is described for such systems. A manufacturing system example is also presented. Copyright ((C))2001 IFAC.
