Abstract
The rich and exciting research over the past decade concerning the
description, analysis, controller design, simulation, and implementation
of distributed systems is reviewed. From control engineering, this
research has inherited the concepts and theories of optimality,
stability, controlled differential equation models, and the motivation
to improve the performance of increasingly complex physical processes.
From computer science, the research has incorporated the theories of
logical specification and verification, event-driven state machine
models, concurrent processes and object-oriented approaches. The review
is organized in the framework of dynamic networks of hybrid automata.
The case study of an automated highway system is used to illustrate the
challenges posed by a complex distributed system, and the research
contributions that address different challenges. There is an equal
emphasis on the conceptual and theoretical contributions and on tools
and techniques that yield more immediately practical benefits
