Advanced technologies (eg, distributed sensors, RFID, and auto-identification) can gather
processing information (eg, system status, uncertain machine breakdown, and uncertain job …

The objective of this paper is to provide a concise introduction to the max-plus algebra and
to max-plus linear discrete-event systems. We present the basic concepts of the max-plus …

This paper considers the global optimization of max-plus linear systems with affine equality
constraints. For both the cases that the variables are real and non-negative, the necessary …

This paper deals with control of industrial systems which can be depicted by timed event
graphs. A methodology and software tools are presented to allow engineers to implement …

This paper considers the global robustness of max-plus linear systems and investigates the
global robustness with q-step delay, which requires the states keep unchanged under the …
