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 …

In human and robot collaborative hybrid assembly cell as we proposed, it is important to
develop automatic subtask allocation strategy for human and robot in usage of their …

Petri nets have gained increasing usage and acceptance as a basic model of asynchronous
concurrent systems since 1962. As a class of structural objects of Petri nets, siphons play a …

In the context of automated manufacturing systems (AMSs), Petri nets are widely adopted to
solve the modeling, analysis, and control problems. So far, nearly all known approaches to …

A novel architecture for the field of industrial automation is described, the goals of which are:
1) computation of optimal production plans; 2) automated usage of the optimized plans; 3) …

This work studies the robust deadlock control of automated manufacturing systems with
multiple unreliable resources. Our goal is to ensure the continuous production of the jobs …

This paper addresses the deadlock (DL)-free scheduling problem of flexible manufacturing
systems (FMS) characterized by resource sharing, limited buffer capacity, routing flexibility …

Deadlock resolution has been an important research topic in the field of automated
manufacturing systems (AMSs). Researchers generally assume that AMS resources never …

This paper develops a decentralized supervision policy for a Petri net through collaboration
between a coordinator and subnet controllers. The coordinator is chosen from the subnet …
