Resource allocation systems (RASs) belong to a kind of discrete event system commonly
seen in the industry. In such systems, available resources are allocated to concurrently …

Cluster tools are automated robotic manufacturing systems containing multiple computer-
controlled process modules. They have been increasingly used for wafer fabrication. This …

Resource failures may happen in automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) because of
different reasons in the real world, making most existing deadlock control policies …

With the rapid advancement and widespread applications of information technology in the
manufacturing shop floor, a huge amount of real-time data is generated, providing a good …

This work studies the scheduling problem of a single-arm multicluster tool with a linear
topology and process-bound bottleneck individual tool. The objective is to find a one-wafer …

The recent developments of technologies in Internet of Things (IoT) provide the opportunities
for smart manufacturing with real-time traceability, visibility, and interoperability in production …

This work proposes a novel structure in Petri nets, namely data inhibitor arcs, and their
application to the optimal supervisory control of Petri nets. A data inhibitor arc is an arc from …

In semiconductor manufacturing, there are wafer fabrication processes with wafer revisiting.
Some of them must meet wafer residency time constraints. Taking atomic layer deposition …

With the interaction of discrete-event and continuous processes, the short-term scheduling
problem of crude oil operations is essentially combinatorial. Thus, it is preferred to develop …

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 …
