Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) provides a tool to model and control human-engineered complex systems, such as computer networks and the Web. This book develops the concepts of this theory and explores ways it could be applied to emerging technological areas such as control of complex computer and software systems. It provides the necessary background information and introduces new paradigms. Researchers in computer engineering, as well as automatic control and systems engineers will find the book of benefit for their work.
