Abstract

We consider the control of distributed systems composed of subsystems communicating asynchronously; the aim is to build local controllers that restrict the behavior of a distributed system in order to satisfy a global state avoidance property. We model our distributed systems as communicating finite state machines with reliable unbounded FIFO queues between subsystems. The local controllers can only observe the behavior of their proper local subsystem and do not see the queue contents. To refine their control policy, they can use the FIFO queues to communicate by piggybacking extra information to the messages sent by the subsystems. We define synthesis algorithms allowing to compute the local controllers. We explain how we can ensure the termination of this control algorithm by using abstract interpretation techniques, to overapproximate queue contents by regular languages. An implementation of our algorithms provides an empirical evaluation of our method
