TIMED PETRI NET-BASED SIMULATION ALGORITHM OF FMS

摘要

Petri nets are widely used in many aspects of FMS, such as modeling and simulation. In thisrnpaper, a timed Petri net-based simulation algorithm of FMS is proposed, which consists of a simple datarnstructure. Using this algorithm, it is convenient not only for analyzing the transient and permanentrnbehaviors but tracking the changes of the timed Petri net. Besides, the graph nature of Petri nets isrnadopted to visualize the bottleneck of FMS and to provide the simulation approaches with supports.rnThese features make the simulation of FMS executed smoothly. The simulation results demonstrate thernalgorithm is efficient for evaluating the performance of FMS.
