Distributed Control Systems

The course is a substitute for:

Distributed Control Systems (XE35DRS)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The main aim is design and analysis of distributed systems for industrial applications. Important part is oriented towards industrial communication networks. Theoretical background and the system analysis are based on Petri Nets specifialy dealing with their structural properties, colored Petri Nets, timed Petri Nets and other extensions. Several communication protocols are modeled, simulated and analyzed. Parallel computers and parallel languages are briefly mentioned in order to illustate complexity evaluation of parallel algorithms and global communications.
