The divide and conquer strategy in this paper is used to investigate the deadlock prevention of the AMS modeled by Resource-oriented Petri net when multitype resources are introduced. Based on the production process circuits, the plant ROPN model is divided into an idle subnet, an autonomous subnet, and some independent topologies. By adding liveness enforcing controllers to each topology, deadlock-free AMS can be achieved. It is shown that if the ROPN satisfies the separation condition, the computational effort of the controller will be greatly reduced. The proposed method is illustrated with the large AMS example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
