Assessment of initial-state-opacity in live and bounded labeled Petri net systems via optimization techniques

F Basile, G De Tommasi, C Motta - Automatica, 2023 - Elsevier
Opacity is a property of discrete event systems (DES) that is related to the possibility of
hiding a secret to external observers, the so called intruders. If the secret is the system initial …
