A cyber-physical system (CPS) typically consists of the plant, sensors, actuators, the
controller and a communication network. The communication network connects the …

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 …

Deadlocks are an undesirable situation in automated flexible manufacturing systems (FMS).
Their occurrences often deteriorate the utilization of resources and may lead to catastrophic …

For bounded Petri nets, Cabasino et al. propose a diagnosability test method that is based
on the analysis of a modified basis reachability graph and a basis reachability diagnoser …

Disassembly is a systematic method to separate an end-of-life product into its constituent
parts and components. However, the disassembly process of products can experience great …

Petri nets are widely used to model and analyze Resource Allocation Systems (RASs).
Since they are a kind of structuralized formal method, they can well describe the …

Strict minimal siphons (SMSs) play a key role in the development of deadlock prevention
policies by using Petri nets for flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). In this paper, given …

In the past three decades, a lot of Petri net-based methods have been proposed for
deadlock prevention/liveness enforcing in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). Firstly, a …

Deadlocks should be eliminated in highly automated manufacturing systems since their
occurrence implies the stoppage of the whole or partial system operation. Over the past …

Such concurrent systems as Web services and workflow systems can be viewed as a
composition of a set of subsystems. Subsystems interact with each other through a set of …
