We introduce the class of discrete hybrid automata (DHA) and show its relation with several other existing model paradigms: piecewise affine systems, mixed logical dynamical systems, (extended) linear complementarity systems, min-max-plus-scaling systems. We present HYSDEL (hybrid systems description language), a high-level modeling language for DHA, and a set of tools for translating DHA into any of the former hybrid models. Such a multimodeling capability of HYSDEL is particularly appealing for exploiting a large number of available analysis and synthesis techniques, each one developed for a particular class of hybrid models. An automotive example shows the modeling capabilities of HYSDEL and how the different models allow to use several computational tools. date: 2004-03 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology volume: 12 number: 2 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 235-249 id_number: 10.1109/TCST.2004.824309 refereed: TRUE issn: 1063-6536 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1281781&isnumber=28628 citation: Torrisi, Fabio Danilo and Bemporad, Alberto HYSDEL - A tool for generating computational hybrid models.
