Abstract

This work introduces a general formulation of the reconfiguration problem for untimed discrete-event systems (DES), which can be treated directly by supervisory control theory (SCT). To model the reconfiguration requirements we introduce the concept of reconfiguration specification (RS); here reconfiguration events (RE) are introduced to force a transition from one system configuration to another. Standard SCT synthesis is employed to obtain a reconfiguration supervisor (RSUP) in which designated states serve as the source states for RE. The reconfiguration problem itself is formulated as that of establishing guaranteed finite reachability of a desired RE source state in RSUP from the current state in RSUP at which a change in configuration is commanded by an external user. The solvability (or otherwise) of this reachability problem is established by backtracking as in standard dynamic programming.
