Towards an Algebra of Hybrid Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3929))

Abstract

We present a trajectory-based model for describing hybrid systems. For this we use left quantales and left semirings, thus providing a new application for these algebraic structures. Furthermore, we sketch a connection between game theory and hybrid systems.
