Abstract

An extended model for a class of discrete event systems is proposed. Based on the model formulated by Ramadge and Wonham [1], we introduce the notion of a nondeterministic supervisor and extend the definition of a controllable language [1]. Some results on the existence of deterministic and nondeterministic supervisors to achieve a given closed loop language are presented. We briefly discuss closure properties of controllable languages in the extended model.
