Discrete event dynamic system
# Discrete event dynamic system

In control engineering, a discrete-event dynamic system (DEDS) is a discrete-state, event-driven system of which the state evolution depends entirely on the occurrence of asynchronous discrete events over time. Although similar to continuous-variable dynamic systems (CVDS), DEDS consists solely of discrete state spaces and event-driven state transition mechanisms.

Topics in DEDS include:

* Automata theory
* Supervisory control theory
* Petri net theory
* Discrete event system specification
* Boolean differential calculus
* Markov chain
* Queueing theory
* Discrete-event simulation
* Concurrent estimation
