Title
On Coparanormality In Distributed Supervisory Control Of Discrete-Event Systems
Abstract
Decomposition and localization of a supervisor are both reduction methods in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems. Decomposition is employed to reduce the number of events and localization is used to reduce the number of states of local controllers. In decomposition of a supervisor both observation and control scopes are restricted, whereas in localization only control authority is restricted to the corresponding local controller. In this paper, we propose a decomposition method by defining a coparanormality property, and by using the relative observability property of a monolithic supervisor. Coparanormality is a coobservation property defined based on a paranormality property for a set of natural projections. It is shown that each supervisor can be coparanormal, provided a set of appropriate natural projections exist. Moreover, it is proved that relative observability is a sufficient condition to decompose a supervisor. Furthermore, the supervisor localization procedure is generalized to find a set of local controllers for any partition of the controllable events set. The implementation of such local controllers may become easier in industrial systems.
