Abstract
The decentralized control problem that we address in this paper is that of several communicating supervisory controllers, each with different information, working in concert to exactly achieve a given legal sublanguage of the uncontrolled system's language model. We present a novel information structure formalism for dealing with this class of problems. Preliminary results are presented which elucidate a fundamental concept in decentralized control problems: the importance of controllers anticipating future possible communications.Keywords
