To describe the dynamical behaviour of a mechanical structure, tensors are used. To describe the dynamical behaviour of a controller, differential equations are used. This formalism is applied to design the control of separate machines or to specify the flow of material or information in a factory. As the formalism deals with discrete-event as well as continuous time aspects it is a hybrid formalism. Based upon the phonetic description of the first letters of the word 'hybrid', the formalism is called .
