Introduction to Discrete Event Systems. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: ECE 251 or CS 251 or equivalent, and MATH 333 or ECE 321 or equivalent. Introduces logical models, timed models, and stochastic timed models of discrete event systems. Applies petri net methodology to the modeling of computer systems, flexible manufacturing systems, communication networks, and robotics. Contrasts the approaches of simulation, elementary queueing theory, and Markov processes.
