TI - Formal methods in manufacturing edited by SN - 9781466561557 U1 - 670 CAM-J PY - 2014/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Manufacturing processes--Mathematical models KW - Manufacturing processes KW - TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING -- Industrial Engineering KW - TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING -- Industrial Technology N1 - Illustrated with real-life manufacturing examples, Formal Methods in Manufacturing provides state-of-the-art solutions to common problems in manufacturing systems. Assuming some knowledge of discrete event systems theory, the book first delivers a detailed introduction to the most important formalisms used for the modeling, analysis, and control of manufacturing systems (including Petri nets, automata, and max-plus algebra), explaining the advantages of each formal method. It then employs the different formalisms to solve specific problems taken from today's industrial world, such as modeling and simulation, supervisory control (including deadlock prevention) in a distributed and/or decentralized environment, performance evaluation (including scheduling and optimization), fault diagnosis and diagnosability analysis, and reconfiguration ER -
