Received: 10 June 2011 AbstractAccepted: 25 October 2011 Motivated by a purpose of closing the gap between theory and practice, this paper demon-strates how a well-known formal method is used to design a suitable control strategy fora large system. The formal method must deal with issues of complexity which usually preventanalysis of the large plant. The proposed strategies are based on modular principles and de-composition techniques and are proven to be able to cope with the complexity of the analysisof the investigated plant.Keywordsprocess control, batch-plant, complexity, state explosion, optimization, control strategy.
