Course on Discrete Event Systems (M13 of EECI-IGSC-2024) - June 3-7

 

 

We would like to draw your attention to the course on "Introduction to Discrete Event Systems", taught by Stephane Lafortune (University of Michigan, USA) and Christos Cassandras (Boston University, USA), will be held from June 3 to June 7, 2024, at the Campus Saint Charles, in Marseille, France. 

This course of 21 hours, offered as part of the European Embedded Control Institute-International Graduate School on Control (M13 of EECI-IGSC-2024), is especially designed to doctoral students, post-docs and young researchers, who will have the opportunity to learn the main concepts and recent results in the theory and application of discrete-event systems.
 
While the area of discrete event systems started as a sub-discipline in control engineering almost 40 years ago, the study of discrete event systems (DES) remains highly relevant to control engineering problems nowadays, such as in cyber-physical systems, transportation, software engineering, and in the study of privacy and security in engineered systems. In fact, DES form the centerpiece of the event-driven (cyber) component in the hybrid systems that comprise much of today’s technology, complementing the time-driven (physical) components.

This course will strike a balance between introducing the students to the key concepts, models, and results of discrete-event control theory for logical and stochastic models, while at the same time emphasizing current research trends in DES theory and applications. 

Please see the EECI's webpage, http://www.eeci-igsc.eu/, for further details.

Students can apply to get financial support. Pour les doctorants inscrits dans une Université française hors Ile-de-France, voir : http://www.eeci-igsc.eu/igsc-grant-registration-france/.
