Abstract

In [Tricas et al., 1999] we presented a new method for deadlock prevention in flexible manufacturing systems using Petri nets as the modelling tool. It was based on an iterative method, using the structure of the Petri net model. Here we present two things; first, we improve the algorithm which establishes the control; second, we present some experimental results which try to compare a few control methods from the perspective of their “permissivity”.
