This book presents the original concepts andmodern techniques for specification, synthesis, optimisation and implementationof parallel logical control devices. It deals with essential problems ofreconfigurable control systems like dependability, modularity and portability.Reconfigurable systems require a wider variety of design and verification optionsthan the application-specific integrated circuits. The book presents acomprehensive selection of possible design techniques. The diversity of themodelling approaches covers Petri nets, state machines and activity diagrams.The preferences of the presented optimization and synthesis methods  arenot limited to increasing of the efficiency of resource use. One of the biggestadvantages of the presented methods is the platform independence, the FPGAdevices and single board computers are some of the examples of possibleplatforms. These issues and problems are illustrated with practical cases ofcomplete control systems.
