分布式锁的Petri网建模及死锁检测

分布式锁管理DLM细化了锁模式的粒度,使得分布式系统具有更高的并发性,但死锁检测等锁的管理过程却更加复杂了,Petri网的应用能很好地解决该问题。为分布式锁建立Petri网模型,通过化简和合成建立系统的Petri网模型,借助Petri网的可达标识图实时检测出分布式系统的死锁状态,并查找死锁进程。

自动制造系统设计和仿真中的死锁控制

通过对自动制造系统的Pctri网模型的分析．可以揭示出被模拟系统的死锁跟其初始标识和其结构有关。要想消除自动制造系统的死锁异常,可以通过修改Petri网的初始标识或Pctri网的结构来解决。该文结合具体示例,给出了具体的可操作算法并设计出了控制自动制造系统死锁的Petri网模型,从而为自动制造系统的异常处理提供了一条有效途径。     

基于混合整数规划的一般Petri网死锁检测方法

信标的受控性是检测柔性制造系统(flexible manufacturing system,FMS)Petri网模型是否存在死锁的关键因素.对于普通Petri网,在任何可达标识下所有信标不被清空是检测网系统非死锁的充分条件.然而,该条件对于建模能力更强的一般Petri网并不适用,max可控性条件由此产生.研究证明,该条件对于一般Petri网的死锁检测过于严格了.虽然其后有很多研究者通过改进max可控性条件以求给出条件更宽松的一般Petri网非死锁的充分条件,但大部分的研究成果都仅仅局限于一种顺序资源共享分配系统Petri网模型S4PR(systems of sequential systems with shared resources)网.因此,本文在max可控性条件的基础上提出了新的名为max#可控的信标可控性条件,并在此条件的基础上实现了基于混合整数规划(mixed integer programming,MIP)的死锁检测方法.与现有研究成果相比,max#可控性条件更宽松,可适用于更多类型的一般网,为解决大规模柔性制造系统中死锁监督控制器的结构复杂性问题提供了有力的理论支撑.     

Optimal deadlock avoidance Petri net supervisors for automated manufacturing systems

Deadlock avoidance problems are investigated for automated manufacturing systems with flexible routings. Based on the Petri net models of the systems, this paper proposes, for the first time, the concept of perfect maximal resourcetransition circuits and their saturated states. The concept facilities the development of system liveness characterization and deadlock avoidance Petri net supervisors. Deadlock is characterized as some perfect maximal resource-transition circuits reach their saturated states. For a large class of manufacturing systems, which do not contain center resources, the optimal deadlock avoidance Petri net supervisors are presented. For an general manufacturing system, a method is proposed for reducing the system Petri net model so that the reduced model does not contain center resources and, hence, has optimal deadlock avoidance Petri net supervisor. The controlled reduced Petri net model can then be used as the liveness supervisor of the system.

Decentralized supervisory controller design to avoid deadlock in Petri nets

A decentralized supervisory controller design approach, using overlapping decompositions, is proposed for discrete-event systems modelled by Petri nets to avoid deadlock. In this approach, the given original Petri net is first decomposed into overlapping Petri subnets. A controller for each disjoint Petri subnet is then designed. A controller for the expanded Petri net is next obtained by combining these controllers in a certain way. In the final phase, the controller obtained for the expanded Petri net is contracted in a certain way to obtain a controller for the original Petri net. It is proved that this final controller avoids deadlock in the original Petri net.     

A deadlock prevention approach for flexible manufacturing systems with uncontrollable transitions in their Petri net models

Deadlocks are a highly undesired situation in a fully automated flexible manufacturing system, whose occurrences are tied to the existence of shared resources that are competed by different production processes. In the last two decades, a fair amount of research has been done on deadlock analysis and control for flexible manufacturing systems, leading to a variety of strategies in the literature. Petri nets are a promising mathematical tool to handle deadlock problems in flexible manufacturing systems. However, most deadlock control policies based on a Petri net formalism assume that all the transitions in a plant model are controllable. However, uncontrollability of events are a natural feature in a real‐world production system. This paper proposes a deadlock prevention policy for a class of Petri nets by considering the existence of uncontrollable transitions. Deadlocks are prevented by adding monitors to a plant Petri net model, whose addition does not inhibit the firings of uncontrollable transitions. Linear programming techniques are employed to find transitions to which a monitor points in order that a more permissive liveness‐enforcing Petri net supervisor can be found. A number of manufacturing examples are used to demonstrate the proposed methods. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

基于变迁覆盖的制造系统死锁控制策略

基于系统Petri网模型,研究柔性制造系统的死锁控制问题.论文利用变迁覆盖为系统设计活性控制器.变迁覆盖是由一组极大完备资源变迁回路组成的集合,其变迁集覆盖了Petri网中所有极大完备资源变迁回路的变迁集.验证变迁覆盖的有效性,然后仅对有效变迁覆盖中的极大完备资源变迁回路添加控制位置,就得到系统的活性受控Petri网.这种受控Petri网包含的控制位置个数少,从而结构相对简单.最后通过一个例子说明了所提出的死锁控制策略的构成与特点.     

On systematic methods to remove redundant monitors from liveness-enforcing net supervisors

Petri nets based deadlock prevention for flexible manufacturing systems has received much attention over the past decade, primarily due to the seminal work of Ezpeleta et al. in 1995. A Petri net based deadlock prevention mechanism is usually implemented by adding monitors or control places to a plant Petri net model such that liveness can be enforced. The significance of this methodology lies in that both a plant model and its supervisor are in a same formalism-Petri nets. Due to the inherent complexity of Petri nets, in theory, the number of additional monitors that have to been added to achieve liveness-enforcement purpose for an uncontrolled plant model is exponential with respect to the size of the model. This paper first proposes a systematic method to minimize the number of additional monitors in a liveness-enforcing Petri net supervisor such that the resultant net system has the same permissive behavior while liveness can still be preserved. Furthermore, for the liveness-enforcing Petri net supervisors of flexible manufacturing systems, which have some particular property, an algorithm is developed such that more permissive liveness-enforcing Petri net supervisors can be obtained after liveness-restrictive monitor removal. Compared with the existing techniques of eliminating redundant monitors in the literature, the complete state enumeration of a supervisor is avoided, which implies the high computational efficiency of the methods in this paper. Flexible manufacturing examples are used to demonstrate the proposed approaches.
