learning outcomeBy the end of this course, students should be able
to describe and analyze important properties of
discrete-event systems in the form of automata; to design simple supervisors for typical closed-loop
system specifications; and to reduce the complexity of the design task, using modular and decentralized as
well as hierarchical design methods. Furthermore, the students should have learnt how to develop and implement solutions that require the analysis and control of automata for real-world problems. They should have learnt to constructively take criticism and implement comments and suggestions from their instructors and fellow students.
