Abstract
The hybrid control systems considered here consist
of a continuous plant under the control of a discrete
event system. Communication between the plant
and controller is provided by an interface that can
convert signals from the continuous domain to the
symbolicdomain, and vise-versa. Hybrid control sys-
tem design generally involves designing a controller,
possibly designing some or all of the interface, and
in some cases, designing a continuous controller that
will become part of the continuous-time plant.
This paper examines the case where the interface
