Summary :

A supervisor proposed by Ramadge and Wonham controls a discrete event system (DES) so as to satisfy logical control specifications. However a precise description of both the specifications and the DES is needed for the control. This paper proposes a synthesis method of the supervisor for decentralized DESs based on reinforcement learning. In decentralized DESs, several local supervisors exist and control the DES jointly. Costs for disabling and occurrence of events as well as control specifications are considered. By using reinforcement learning, the proposed method is applicable under imprecise specifications and uncertain environment.
