This book concerns the use of dioid algebra as (max, +) algebra
to treat the synchronization of tasks expressed by the maximum of
the ends of the tasks conditioning the beginning of another task
– a criterion of linear programming. A classical example is
the departure time of a train which should wait for the arrival of
other trains in order to allow for the changeover of
passengers.
The content focuses on the modeling of a class of dynamic systems
usually called ‚discrete event systems‘ where the
timing of the events is crucial. Events are viewed as sudden
changes in a process which is, essentially, a man-made system, such
as automated manufacturing lines or transportation systems. Its
main advantage is its formalism which allows us to clearly describe
complex notions and the possibilities to transpose theoretical
results between dioids and practical applications.
