In this paper, an optimal deadlock prevention policy for flexible manufacturing systems
(FMSs) is proposed. In an FMS, dead-locks can arise because of a limited number of shared …

In a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) with multiple products, deadlocks can arise due to
limited shared resources, such as machines, robots, buffers, fixtures etc. The development of …

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) are modern production facilities with easy
adaptability to variable production plans and goals. These systems may exhibit deadlock …

This paper proposes an iterative synthesis approach to Petri net (PN)-based deadlock
prevention policy for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Given the PN model (PNM) of an …

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

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 …

Concurrent competition for finite resources by multiple parts in flexible manufacturing
systems (FMS) results in deadlock. This is an important issue to be addressed in the …

Efficient deadlock control policies are very important in the operation of flexible
manufacturing systems (FMS). This paper focuses on deadlock control problems for a …

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 …

This paper addresses the deadlock-free scheduling problem in Flexible Manufacturing
Systems. An efficient deadlock-free scheduling algorithm was developed, using timed Petri …
