Automatic Control, Observation, and Diagnosis of Multi-layer Condition Systems

Abstract:
In this talk, we consider discrete event systems modeled as condition systems, a form of Petri net with condition signal inputs and outputs. The problems we consider are motivated by applications in manufacturing control and embedded control. Specifically, we consider systems modeled by sets of discrete state components which interact with each other and with a controller through condition systems. Given high-level statements of desired behaviors for the system, the goal is to synthesize modular control elements that interact together with the plant to achieve the desired behaviors. We overview methods to synthesize the modular control, as well as to synthesize modular observers.
Short Bio:
Dr. Larry Holloway is the TVA Professor and Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky, and a faculty member in the University of Kentucky Center for Manufacturing. He received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University in Dallas Texas, and his MS and PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Dr Holloway’s research area is in analysis and control of systems, particularly applied to manufacturing. He has conducted projects funded by the National Science Foundation, Eaton, Rockwell, Department of Defense, NASA, Office of Naval Research, and others. He has over 100 technical publications.
