Fuzzy discrete event systems (FDESs) represent an important evolution of traditional discrete event systems by integrating fuzzy logic to cope with vagueness and imprecision inherent in real‐world ...

Discrete Event Systems (DES) constitute a class of dynamic systems characterised by state transitions that occur at discrete points in time, triggered by instantaneous events. Supervisory Control ...

Based on presentation to IEEE's 2010 Winter Simulation Conference, Baltimore, Dec. 5-8, 2010. A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of ...

We present a general framework for applying simulation to optimize the behavior of discrete event systems. Our approach involves modeling the discrete event system under study as a general state space ...
