9. Course Prerequisites Taken course: Mathematics 4
10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): Students will be introduced to the concept of discrete-event system and their application in completely automated integrated manufacturing. Students will be enabled to use discrete-event systems as tools in modeling and simulation of flexible manufacturing systems.
11. Course Syllabus: Introduction to discrete-event systems. Discrete automata, deterministic and nondeterministic. Turing machines, regular grammar, context-free languages. Markov chains. Petri Nets and application to computer integrated manufacturing and flexible manufacturing. Stochastic Petri Nets and application to steady-state analysis of manufacturing systems.
12. Learning methods: Combined: presentations, homework, project assignments, practical laboratory work.

19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Completion of the laboratory work assignments.
20. Forms of assessment Two partial written exams are scheduled during the semester (at the middle and at the end of the semester, each with a duration of 120 minutes), as well as tests, which are envisaged to be held on the regular classes, and a test for the laboratory exercises (scheduled after the end of the exercises).
1. Students who have passed the partial exams are considered to have passed the final written exam. A final oral exam can also be scheduled, with a duration of up to 60 minutes. The final grade is formed based on the points from the partial exams, tests and the final oral exam (if scheduled).
2. In the planned exam sessions, a final written exam is taken (duration 120 minutes). For students who have passed the final written exam, a final oral exam can also be scheduled (duration up to 60 minutes). The final grade is formed based on the points from the final written exam, the tests and the final oral exam (if scheduled).
