Abstract :
Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS) are studied in which the underlying algebra is the max-algebra and the coefficients in the system, referring to processing times in practice, are stochastic. The authors note that until now the study of DEDS in the context of max-algebra has been purely deterministic; in the present work, the authors discuss certain stochastic extensions. The theory given deals with the analysis of stochastic DEDS in which the processing times and/or the transportation times within a network show stochastic fluctuations
