In multilevel supervisor synthesis, dependency structure matrix techniques can be used to transform the models of plants and requirements into a tree-structured hierarchical decomposition of the synthesis problem and thus efficiently…
We investigate the scenario where a perturbed nonlinear system transmits its output measurements to a remote observer via a packet-based communication network. The sensors are grouped into N nodes and each of these nodes decides when its…
We propose a distributed control, in which many identical control agents are deployed for controlling a linear time-invariant plant that has multiple input-output channels. Each control agent can join or leave the control loop during the…
In this paper, a heterogeneous leader-followers multiagent system is studied under simultaneous time-varying communication faults and actuator faults. First, the state of the leader is modelled as the closed-loop reference model where the…
The conventional Wonham-Ramadge supervisory control framework of discrete event systems enforces a closed discrete event system to generate correct behaviors under certain environments, which can be captured by an appropriate plant model.…
Responses to disastrous events are a challenging problem, because of possible damages on communication infrastructures. For instance, after a natural disaster, infrastructures might be entirely destroyed. Different network paradigms were…

We consider the optimal design of sequential transmission over broadcast channel with nested feedback. Nested feedback means that the channel output of the outer channel is also available at the decoder of the inner channel. We model the…
The goal of this report is to define abstractions for multi-agent systems with feedback interconnection in their dynamics. In the proposed decentralized framework, we specify a finite or countable transition system for each agent which only…
