A classical example is the departure time of a train which should wait for the arrival of other trains in order to allow for the changeover of passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe content focuses on the modeling of a class of dynamic systems usually called \"discrete event systems\" where the timing of the events is crucial. Events are viewed as sudden changes in a process which is, essentially, a man-made system, such as automated manufacturing lines or transportation systems. Its main advantage is its formalism which allows us to clearly describe complex notions and the possibilities to transpose theoretical results between dioids and practical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Declerck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848214618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848214613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Iste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Philippe Declerck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088894570751,"sku":"9781848214613","price":177.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_230b01de-b39b-4da6-8357-bd82ba8f812a.jpg?v=1769107135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discrete-event-systems-in-dioid-philippe-declerck-9781848214613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
