book
Monotone Structure in Discrete-Event Systems (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)
(Information previously available only in journal articles...)
Information previously available only in journal articles and research papers has been brought together in this outstanding text. Uses the unifying theme of monotone structure to transcend the two-perspective approach to DES--one stressing logical/qualitative issues and the other temporal/quantitative analysis--to encompass elements from both. Features notes and references at the end of each chapter.
