Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to formulate and solve certain scheduling tasks using timed discrete event control methods. To demonstrate our approach, we consider a special class of systems: a cyclically operated chemical plant with parallel reactors using common resources and a continuous output. This problem was motivated by a benchmark proposed within the EU Network of Excellence HYCON. For this class of systems, we show how to pose the control problem within a discrete event framework by modelling system components as multirate timed automata. Safety and nonblocking are investigated. These properties have to be achieved in the presence of a class of bounded errors/disturbances.
