Overview
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.

A departure from a two-pronged approach to the subject that focuses separately on logical/qualitative issues and temporal/quantitative analysis. Linking elements from each aspect, the authors show how integral monotone structure is to an understanding of discrete-event systems. Describing the foundations of monotone structure as well as a variety of applications and theoretical ramifications of the basic structure, the authors also examine strings, languages, scores, matroids, greedoids, optimal coupling, and perturbation analysis.
