Cover of Business and Scientific Workflows – A Web Service–Oriented Approach
This reference book for system engineers, architects, and managers focuses on how to design, analyze, and deploy Web service-based workflows for both business and scientific applications in a broad domain of healthcare and biomedicine. It discusses recent research and development results, as well as applications including healthcare and biomedical applications such as personalized healthcare processing, DNA sequence data processing, and electrocardiogram wave analysis. It also presents key methods such as Petri nets and social network analysis to advance the theory and applications of workflow design and Web service composition.

Cover of Contemporary Issues in Systems Science and Engineering
Various systems science and engineering disciplines are covered and challenging new research issues in these disciplines are revealed. They will be extremely valuable for the readers to search for some new research directions and problems.

  • Chapters are contributed by world-renowned systems engineers
  • Chapters include discussions and conclusions
  • Readers can grasp each event holistically without having professional expertise in the field

Cover of System Design and Control Integration for Advanced Manufacturing
Most existing robust design books address design for static systems, or achieve robust design from experimental data via the Taguchi method. Little work considers model information for robust design particularly for the dynamic system. This book covers robust design for both static and dynamic systems using the nominal model information or the hybrid model/data information, and also integrates design with control under a large operating region. This design can handle strong nonlinearity and more uncertainties from model and parameters.

Cover of Supervisory Control and Scheduling of Resource Allocation Systems

Presents strategies with reachability graph analysis for optimizing resource allocation systems

Supervisory Control and Scheduling of Resource Allocation Systems offers an important guide to Petri net (PN) models and methods for supervisory control and system scheduling of resource allocation systems (RASs). Resource allocation systems are common in automated manufacturing systems, project management systems, cloud data centers, and software engineering systems. The authors-two experts on the topic-present a definition, techniques, models, and state-of-the art applications of supervisory control and scheduling problems.

The book introduces the basic concepts and research background on resource allocation systems and Petri nets. The authors then focus on the deadlock-free supervisor synthesis for RASs using Petri nets. The book also investigates the heuristic scheduling of RASs based on timed Petri nets. Conclusions and open problems are provided in the last section of the book.

This important book:

  • Includes multiple methods for supervisory control and scheduling with reachability graphs, and provides illustrative examples
  • Reveals how to accelerate the supervisory controller design and system scheduling of RASs based on PN reachability graphs, with optimal or near-optimal results
  • Highlights both solution quality and computational speed in RAS deadlock handling and system scheduling

Written for researchers, engineers, scientists, and professionals in system planning and control, engineering, operation, and management, Supervisory Control and Scheduling of Resource Allocation Systems provides an essential guide to the supervisory control and scheduling of resource allocation systems (RASs) using Petri net reachability graphs, which allow for multiple resource acquisitions and flexible routings.
