Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem addressed in this document concerns the coordinated allocation of a finite set of reusable resources to a set of concurrently running processes. These processes execute in a staged manner, and each stage requires a different subset of the system resources for its support. Furthermore, processes will hold upon the resources currently allocated to them until they will secure the necessary resources for their next processing stage. Such resource allocation dynamics currently arise in the context of many flexibly automated operations: from the workflow that takes place in various production shop floors and certain internet-supported platforms that seek to automate various service operations; to the traffic coordination in guidepath-based transport systems like industrial monorail and urban railway systems; to the resource allocation that takes place in the context of the contemporary multi-core computer architectures. From a theoretical standpoint, the resource allocation problems that are abstracted from the aforementioned applications, correspond to the problem of scheduling a stochastic network with blocking and deadlocking effects. This is an area of the modern scheduling theory with very limited results. To a large extent, this lack of results is due to the intricacies that arise from the blocking, and especially the deadlocking effects that take place in these networks, and prevents a tractable analysis of these problems through the classical modeling frameworks. Hence, the departing thesis of the work that is presented in this document, is the decomposition of the aforementioned scheduling problems to (i) a supervisory control problem that will seek to prevent the deadlock formation in the underlying resource allocation dynamics, and (ii) a scheduling problem that will be formulated on the admissible subspace to be defined by the adopted supervisory control policy. Each of these two subproblems can be further structured and addressed using some formal modeling frameworks borrowed, respectively, from the qualitative and the quantitative theory of Discrete Event Systems. At the same time, the above two subproblems possess considerable special structure that can be leveraged towards their effective and efficient solution. The presented material provides a comprehensive tutorial exposition of the current achievements of the corresponding research community with respect to the first of the two subproblems mentioned above. As it will be revealed by this exposition, the corresponding results are pretty rich in their theoretical developments and practically potent. At the same time, it is expected and hoped that the resulting awareness regarding the aforementioned results will also set the stage for undertaking a more orchestrated effort on the second of the two subproblems mentioned above.
Download or read book Real Time Management of Resource Allocation Systems written by Spyros A. Reveliotis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-Time Management of Resource Allocation Systems focuses on the problem of managing the resource allocation taking place within the operational context of many contemporary technological applications, including flexibly automated production systems, automated railway and/or monorail transportation systems, electronic workflow management systems, and business transaction supporting systems. A distinct trait of all these applications is that they limit the role of the human element to remote high-level supervision, while placing the burden of the real-time monitoring and coordination of the ongoing activity upon a computerized control system. Hence, any applicable control paradigm must address not only the issues of throughput maximization, work-in-process inventory reduction, and delay and cost minimization, that have been the typical concerns for past studies on resource allocation, but it must also guarantee the operational correctness and the behavioral consistency of the underlying automated system. The resulting problem is rather novel for the developers of these systems, since, in the past, many of its facets were left to the jurisdiction of the present human intelligence. It is also complex, due to the high levels of choice – otherwise known as flexibility – inherent in the operation of these environments.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at providing a view of the current trends in the development of research on Synthesis and Control of Discrete Event Systems. Papers col lected in this volume are based on a selection of talks given in June and July 2001 at two independent meetings: the Workshop on Synthesis of Concurrent Systems, held in Newcastle upon Tyne as a satellite event of ICATPN/ICACSD and organized by Ph. Darondeau and L. Lavagno, and the Symposium on the Supervisory Control of Discrete Event Systems (SCODES), held in Paris as a satellite event of CAV and organized by B. Caillaud and X. Xie. Synthesis is a generic term that covers all procedures aiming to construct from specifications given as input objects matching these specifications. The ories and applications of synthesis have been studied and developped for long in connection with logics, programming, automata, discrete event systems, and hardware circuits. Logics and programming are outside the scope of this book, whose focus is on Discrete Event Systems and Supervisory Control. The stress today in this field is on a better applicability of theories and algorithms to prac tical systems design. Coping with decentralization or distribution and caring for an efficient realization of the synthesized systems or controllers are of the utmost importance in areas so diverse as the supervision of embedded or man ufacturing systems, or the implementation of protocols in software or in hard ware.
Download or read book Holonic and Multi Agent Systems for Manufacturing written by Vladimir Marik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-01-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing complexity of manufacturing systems as well as the overall demands for flexible and fault-tolerant control of production processes stimulates (among many others) two key emerging technologies that are already making an important breakthrough in the field of intelligent manufacturing, control, and diagnostics. These two paradigms are: • the holonic approach based on the event-driven control strategy, usually aimed at modular control systems that are directly physically linked with the manufacturing hardware equipment, and • the multi-agent approach developed in the area of distributed information processing. The research communities working in both these fields are approaching the problem of intelligent manufacturing from different viewpoints and, until recently, to a certain extent, in an independent way. We can however observe quite a clear convergence of these fields in the last few years: the communities have started to cooperate, joining efforts to solve the painful problems involved in achieving effective industrial practice. We can see convergence in the terminology, standards and methods being applied.

Download or read book Modelling and Performance Analysis of Cyclic Systems written by Wojciech Bożejko and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striking a balance between state-of-the-art research and practical applications, this book provides a forum for contributions that cover the main research challenges in the cyclic modeling, development, and validation of concurrently acting distributed production systems: systems that employ multi-assortment production in large quantities, are characterized by gradual changes in their product mix, and exclusively manufacture products in a cyclic manner. Similar issues also arise in computer systems, e.g., embedded systems. Cyclic optimization problems that occur in them are unique and under-researched, but are attracting new interest primarily due to their great practical importance and the difficulty involved in obtaining efficient algorithms for solving specific cases with real constraints arising from manufacturing practice. Addressing these and other topics, the book will be of great interest to researchers in computer science, operations management, and production control, as well as practicing managers and engineers.
