Cohesively edited by leading experts in the field, Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHS) introduces the theoretical basics, computational methods, and applications of SHS. The book first discusses the underlying principles behind SHS and the main design limitations of SHS. Building on these fundamentals, the authoritative contributors present methods for computer calculations that apply SHS analysis and synthesis techniques in practice. The book concludes with examples of systems encountered in a wide range of application areas, including molecular biology and air traffic management. It also explains how to resolve practical problems associated with these systems.
