“…For, these represent a specific class of complex Markov stochastic processes [6,9,10], dominated by event-driven system dynamics [1,2,11,16]. Namely, these may be identified as follows: flexible automation [34] following the FMS concept (e.g. Figures 1 and 2); embedded intelligence [2,4,7,[35][36][37] in automation infrastructure and intelligent-agent based integrated control and supervision [12][13][14][15]; and discrete-event supervisory control organizer [29,30,15], in particular.…”
