Quasi-synchronous approach for distributed control in synchronous systems

This paper show how one can transform a synchronous system into a globally asynchronous locally synchronous systems in which each site behaves synchronously while the exchange between sites are asynchronous. This is a case of synchronous distributed systems called quasi-synchronous systems. We investigate a hybrid system and show that the continuous control has no problem when the distribution is different from the discrete sequential one. We propose a method allowing the validation of the distributed system through the validation of the centralized one
