Abstract

The systematic approach to the synthesis of the agent-supervisor supervising a group of agents is presented. It is based on results of the DES (discrete event systems) control theory. The agents as well as the agent-supervisor are understood to be DES and they are modelled by Petri nets (PN). The method based on PN place invariants is used in order to synthetise the supervisor. The illustrative example is introduced to explain the elementary steps of the proposed technique. A counter-example illustrating the limits of the approach is introduced too.
