Abstract

Controllability is a property related to the capability of driving a system to any desirable (steady) state or state trajectory. As in discrete nets, continuous nets can be controlled by means of control actions applied on the transitions. For the sake of generality, the set of transitions is partitioned into controllable and uncontrollable; control actions can be applied only on controllable transitions. These actions may only reduce the flow of the uncontrolled model, because transitions (machines for example) cannot work faster than their nominal speed. Under this framework, the chapter overviews conditions for controllability, different control approaches for systems working under infinite server semantics and introduces a basic control method based on consensus for distributed systems.
