A fuzzy Petri net (FPN) is a powerful tool to model and analyze knowledge-based systems
containing vague information. This paper systematically reviews recent developments of the …

Deadlock-free control and scheduling are vital for optimizing the performance of automated
manufacturing systems (AMSs) with shared resources and route flexibility. Based on the …

Scheduling of a semiconductor wafer fabrication system (SWFS) is complicated due to its re-
entrant product flow, high uncertainties in operations, and rapidly changing products and …

Scheduling is a critical and challenging task in manufacturing systems, especially in large-
scale complex systems like wafer fabrication facilities. Although evolutionary algorithms …

During an emergency response after an accident, emergency actions often require certain
emergency resources. The adequate use, or the lack thereof, of emergency resources will …

Scheduling modeling for manufacturing system has always been a great challenge in both
industrial and academic community. With the growing complexity of the manufacturing …

This paper proposes a multi-objective dynamic scheduling approach that combines three
attributes based on a hybrid multiple attribute decision making (MADM) technique. With …

In this work, we focus on general multi-objective scheduling problems that can be modeled
using a Petri net framework. Due to their generality, Petri nets are a useful abstraction that …

In this paper we address multiobjective job shop scheduling problems. After several
decades of research in scheduling problems, a variety of heuristics have been developed …

As one of the most complicated manufacturing processes, semiconductor manufacturing
consists of four steps, wafer sort, wafer fabrication, assembly, and testing. Among them …
