This page hosts information on Shahrad Jamshidi's talk "What is … a Hybrid Automata?" at the "What is …?" seminar. The talk will take place on Friday, June 24, 4:30pm at FU Arnimallee 6, SR 031.
A thermostat maintains a constant temperature via a switching mechanism. This discrete switch and the evolution of the temperature can be modelled using a hybrid automata. In this talk we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this modelling method.
