Quantitative Measure for Discrete Event Supervisory Control

From the reviews:

"This book presents a novel method for discrete event decision and control of complex systems, e.g. electric power generation, aircraft problems and multi-agent human and robotic systems. … The book would be of interest to research workers and graduate students in engineering robotics, computer science and applied mathematics … a rather original and mind provoking book." (Robotica, Vol. 24, 2006)

"This is a monograph that is designed to reach a readership of researchers and graduate students in engineering and science. It will also provide a very useful text for many cyberneticians and systemists who have interests in the areas covered and have a mathematical background to graduate level. … forms a major source for course studies as well as being an excellent reference for readers who wish to learn more about this approach to the study of supervisory decision and control for discrete event systems." (W. R. Howard, Kybernetes, Vol. 35 (7-8), 2006)
