Ensuring the conformance of reactive discrete-event systems by means of supervisory control

We study the problem of controlling a plant of a system by means of an automatically computed supervisor, in order to ensure a certain conformance relation between the plant and its formal specification. The supervisor can be seen as a device that automatically fixes errors that otherwise would have been discovered by testing and fixed by hand. The resulting controlled plant conforms to the specification and is maximal in terms of observable behaviour.
