报告（授课）人介绍：
Kai Cai received the B. Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 2006, the M.A.Sc. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2008, and the Ph.D. degree in systems science from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, in 2011. He is currently an Associate Professor at Osaka City University. Previously, he was an Assistant Pro- fessor at the University of Tokyo (2013–2014), and a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto (2011–2013).
Dr. Cai’s research interests include distributed control of multi-agent systems, distributed control of discrete-event systems, and control architecture of complex networked systems. He is the co-author (with W. M. Wonham) of Supervisor Localization (New York: Springer-Verlag: 2015). He received the Best Paper Award of SICE in 2013 and in 2010, the Best Student Paper Award of the IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control, and the Young Author’s Award of SICE.
 

报告（课程）摘要（ABSTRACT）：
In this talk we present a brief history of Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems, initiated by Ramadge and Wonham. Background and motivation at the birth of the theory are first introduced. Then we identify the main threads of research that have been conducted. These include (1) language controllability and monolithic supervisory control, (2) computational challenge, (3) language observability and control with partial observations, (4) decentralized control with isolated agents, (5) decentralized control with communicating agents, (6) extended theory with broader functionality and richer specifications, and finally (7) realistic industrial applications.
