In this paper, we propose a new automaton property of N-step nonblockingness for a given positive integer N. This property quantifies the standard nonblocking property by capturing the practical requirement that all tasks be completed within a bounded number of steps. Accordingly, we formulate a new N-step nonblocking supervisory control problem, and characterize its solvability in terms of a new concept of N-step language completability. It is proved that there exists a unique supremal N-step completable sublanguage of a given language, and we develop a generator-based algorithm to compute the supremal sublanguage. Finally, together with the supremal controllable sublanguage, we design an algorithm to compute a maximally permissive supervisory control solution to the new N-step nonblocking supervisory control problem.

In the supervisory control framework of discrete-event systems (DES) with infinite behavior initiated by Thistle and Wonham, a supervisor satisfying the minimal acceptable specification and the maximal legal specification is synthesized. However, thi s supervisor may incur livelocks as it cannot ensure that the infinite behavior under supervision will always visit some marker states. To tackle this problem, we propose the definition of markability by requiring that all infinite cycles include at least one marker state. Then we formulate the problem of $omega-$nonblocking supervisory control of DES with infinite behavior to synthesize an $omega-$nonblocking (i.e. nonblocking, deadlock-free and livelock-free) supervisor. An algorithm is proposed to achieve $omega-$nonblockingness by computing the supremal $*-$controllable, $*-$closed, $omega-$controllable and markable sublanguage. We utilize the example of a robot as a running example.

In this paper we investigate multi-agent discrete-event systems with partial observation. The agents can be divided into several groups in each of which the agents have similar (isomorphic) state transition structures, and thus can be relabeled into the same template. Based on the template a scalable supervisor whose state size and computational cost are independent of the number of agents is designed for the case of partial observation. The scalable supervisor under partial observation does not need to be recomputed regardless of how many agents are added to or removed from the system. We generalize our earlier results to partial observation by proposing sufficient conditions for safety and maximal permissiveness of the scalable least restrictive supervisor on the template level. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed scalable supervisory synthesis.

Discrete event systems (DES) have been established and deeply developed in the framework of probabilistic and fuzzy computing models due to the necessity of practical applications in fuzzy and probabilistic systems. With the development of quantum co mputing and quantum control, a natural problem is to simulate DES by means of quantum computing models and to establish {it quantum DES} (QDES). The motivation is twofold: on the one hand, QDES have potential applications when DES are simulated and processed by quantum computers, where quantum systems are employed to simulate the evolution of states driven by discrete events, and on the other hand, QDES may have essential advantages over DES concerning state complexity for imitating some practical problems. The goal of this paper is to establish a basic framework of QDES by using {it quantum finite automata} (QFA) as the modelling formalisms, and the supervisory control theorems of QDES are established and proved. Then we present a polynomial-time algorithm to decide whether or not the controllability condition holds. In particular, we construct a number of new examples of QFA to illustrate the supervisory control of QDES and to verify the essential advantages of QDES over DES in state complexity.
This paper identifies a property of delay-robustness in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES) with communication delays. In previous work a distributed supervisory control problem has been investigated on the assumption that inter-agent communications take place with negligible delay. From an applications viewpoint it is desirable to relax this constraint and identify communicating distributed controllers which are delay-robust, namely logically equivalent to their delay-free counterparts. For this we introduce inter-agent channels modeled as 2-state automata, compute the overall system behavior, and present an effective computational test for delay-robustness. From the test it typically results that the given delay-free distributed control is delay-robust with respect to certain communicated events, but not for all, thus distinguishing events which are not delay-critical from those that are. The approach is illustrated by a workcell model with three communicating agents.
We study the new concept of relative coobservability in decentralized supervisory control of discrete-event systems under partial observation. This extends our previous work on relative observability from a centralized setup to a decentralized one. A fundamental concept in decentralized supervisory control is coobservability (and its several variations); this property is not, however, closed under set union, and hence there generally does not exist the supremal element. Our proposed relative coobservability, although stronger than coobservability, is algebraically well-behaved, and the supremal relatively coobservable sublanguage of a given language exists. We present an algorithm to compute this supremal sublanguage. Moreover, relative coobservability is weaker than conormality, which is also closed under set union; unlike conormality, relative coobservability imposes no constraint on disabling unobservable controllable events.
