Control analysis, synthesis and verification in hybrid control systems using I/O automata-a case study

This paper is about control analysis, synthesis and verification of hybrid control systems (HCSs). Two kind of I/O automata are presented for modeling the extended plant of HCSs. DES I/O automata are defined by additionally introducing control alphabet, input and output events. Timed I/O automata are defined based on DES I/O automata by taking time delay into consideration. The decision-maker can be synthesised by using the proposed models. Some rules are presented for partial verification of correctness of the design. An inverted pendulum is used to illustrate our modeling techniques and proposed methods for control synthesis and verification.
