Supervisor for Real-Time Nondeterministic Discrete Event Systems Under Bounded Time Constraints

This paper addresses a supervisory control problem to meet bounded time constraints in real-time nondeterministic discrete event systems (DESs) represented as timed transition models. For a timed language specification representing a bounded time constraint, this paper introduces the notions of trace-controllability and time-controllability. Based on the notions, this paper presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a supervisor for a real-time nondeterministic DES to achieve the specification.
