System Modeling and Control with Resource-Oriented Petri Nets
1st Edition
By MengChu Zhou, Naiqi Wu
June 14, 2017
Petri nets are widely used in modeling, analysis, and control of discrete event systems arising from manufacturing, transportation, computer and communication networks, and web service systems. However, Petri net models for practical systems can be very large, making it difficult to apply such ...
Anti-Disturbance Control for Systems with Multiple Disturbances
1st Edition
By Lei Guo, Songyin Cao
March 30, 2017
The main focus of this monograph will be on the Enhanced Anti-Disturbance Control and filtering theory and their applications. In fact, the classical anti-disturbance control theory only considered one "equivalent" disturbance which is merged by different unknown sources. However, it is noted that ...
