Learning outcomes
Students will learn formal languages and methods that can be applied in factory automation in areas such as: control modelling, verification, validation, and manufacturing planning. The course addresses the modelling, verification and validation of factory automation systems. At the end of the course the student should be able to model a factory automation system using any of the modelling languages presented during the course (i.e. Petri Nets and timed automata). Additionally, the student should have good knowledge of how choices made at modelling stage can influence the verification steps.
