DEDS

Discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) are dynamic systems (typically asynchronous) in which state transitions are triggered by the occurrence of discrete events in the system. DEDS are usually modeled by finite state automata with partially observable events together with a mechanism for enabling and disabling a subset of state transitions [4,6]. We propose that this model is a suitable framework for many vision and robotics tasks, in particular, we use the model as a high-level structuring technique.
