A guide for electrical and control engineers and manufacturing, intelligent and network systems designers to prevent and manage deadlock issues in their systems. It addresses deadlock-free models and scheduling, detection and recovery methods, the formulation of dynamic control policies and comparison and studies that evaluate various approaches.
Deadlock Resolution in Computer-Integrated Systems is the first text to summarize and comprehensively treat this issue in a systematic manner. Consisting of contributions from prominent researchers in the field, this book addresses deadlock-free models and scheduling, detection and recovery methods, the formulation of dynamic control policies, and comparison and industrial benchmark studies that evaluate various approaches. The editors lay the foundation for exploring deadlock issues with a typical example of an automated manufacturing process, illustrating three primary modeling methods (digraphs, Petri nets, and automata) and comparing their respective advantages and disadvantages.
