Introduction to Networked Control Systems
The control of dynamic systems necessitates the communication of sensor information towards a controller and of information about the control input from the controller towards the actuators. The implementation...

State Observation and Diagnosis of Discrete-Event Systems Described by Stochastic Automata
The problems ofstate observation and diagnosis are solved for discrete–eventsystems, which are described by stochastic automata. As manysystems are not observable in the sense that it is possible toreconstruct...

Modelling and simulation of complex biochemical processes, taking the Biogas Tower Reactor as an example
An analytical model of the Biogas Tower Reaktor, a new type of reactor for anaerobic waste water treatment, is developed based on biochemical and hydrodynamical knowledge. After a brief description of the reac...
