Abstract
A vector discrete-event system (VDES) is a discrete-event system model in which the system state is represented by a vector with integer com ponents, and state transitions by integer vector addition. This paper investigates such structures from the viewpoint of control theory. The objective is to specialize to VDES the general automaton-based contro l theory of Ramadge and Wonham (RW). It is shown that within the VDES framework a useful class of control systems can be compactly modeled, and some of the associated RW control problems more efficiently solved .
