AbstmctWe study a class of specifications, called generalized mutual exclusion constraints, for discrete event systems modeled using Placellkansition nets. These specifications may be easily enforced by a set of places called monitors on a net system where all transitions are controllable. However, when some of the transitions of the net are uncontrollable this technique is not always applicable. For some classes of nets, we prove that generalized mutual exclusion constraints may always be enforced by monitors, even in the presence of uncontrollable transitions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
