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 variety of important Petri net-based methods to prevent deadlocks arising in flexible
manufacturing systems (FMS) are to add some control places and related arcs to strict …

This paper addresses the deadlock problems in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) by
using a Petri net siphon control method and the theory of regions. The proposed policy …

Siphons are a kind of special structural objects in a Petri net, and plays a key role in
synthesizing a live Petri net controller for flexible manufacturing systems. In order to obtain a …

We present a new deadlock prevention algorithm for a class Petri nets. A new class of net
that is extended from S/sup 3/PR, called ES/sup 3/PR, where deadlocks are related to …

This paper proposes a methodology to synthesize supervisors for a class of sequential
resource allocation system for flexible manufacturing systems. The type of Petri nets are …

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 …

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

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 …

This paper presents a deadlock prevention method for a class of flexible manufacturing
systems where deadlocks are caused by unmarked siphons in their Petri net models. This …
