Abstract

The behaviour of the controlled system determines the control. This concise statement summarizes our approach to the investigation of controls. Using abstract languages to define behaviour and subbehaviour we are able to describe and to study different types of control rules and properties to be realized by control like deadlock avoidance, liveness and fairness.
