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 …

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 …

Considers the deadlock avoidance problem for the class of conjunctive/disjunctive
(sequential) resource allocation systems (C/D-RAS), which allows for multiple resource …

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 …

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 …

A siphon-based algorithm for deadlock prevention of a type of Petri nets called
hboxS^3hboxPMR, which is a subclass of hboxS^3hboxPGR^2, is presented in this …

A fair amount of research has shown the importance of siphons in the analysis and control of
deadlocks in a variety of resource allocation systems by using a Petri net formalism. In this …
