Deadlocks are a rather undesirable situation in a highly automated flexible manufacturing
system. Their occurrences often deteriorate the utilization of resources and may lead to …

Petri nets have gained increasing usage and acceptance as a basic model of asynchronous
concurrent systems since 1962. As a class of structural objects of Petri nets, siphons play a …

Deadlock problems in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) have received more and more
attention in the last two decades. Petri nets are one of the more promising mathematical …

Deadlock prevention plays an important role in the modeling and control of flexible
manufacturing systems (FMS). This paper presents a novel and computationally efficient …

Over the last two decades, a great deal of research has been focused on solving deadlock
problems in resource allocation systems such as computer communication systems …

In this paper, a deadlock prevention policy for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) is
proposed, which can obtain a maximally permissive liveness-enforcing Petri net supervisor …

Our previous work presented a Petri net-based iterative synthesis policy for deadlock
prevention in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Given the Petri net model of an FMS …

This paper deals with deadlock problems in Petri nets by adding a set of recovery
transitions. Different from traditional deadlock control methods by deploying control places …

This paper develops a two-stage approach to synthesizing liveness-enforcing supervisors
for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) that can be modeled by a class of Petri nets. First …

Supervisory control is usually considered as an external control mechanism to a system by
controlling the occurrences of its controllable events. There exist Petri net models whose …
