Abstract

Microreactors and timed automata are discussed here. The possibility offered by the general strategy of miniaturization and integration to realize a radical change in design for modern chemical plants is evaluated. The chapter examines self-assembly and self-configuring for microtechnologies. Microtechnologies are studied using dual graded graphs . Modular microreactor systems are candidates for implementing polytope projects . Timed automata self-reconfiguration is studied using heaps of pieces algebra. The case study refers to paint factory control .
