Abstract :
We present a preliminary investigation of state partition and high-level dynamics for the hierarchical supervisory control of an automaton with disableable and undisableable events. Conditions are determined on partitions ensuring that state-feedback control of transitions between aggregated blocks, combined with local control, will yield target state (non-blocking) accessibility
