Versatile Discrete Event Models of Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Discrete event systems (DESs) represent an important part of artificial intelligence and have applications in several domains ranging from technical sciences to social sciences, environmental surveillance, and health care. The ideas and approaches described in the book are the result of the authors'' practice in production (over 10 years), in scientific research and university education (over 10 years), and they deal with general aspects of discrete event modelling of flexible manufacturing systems, as well as some peculiarities from non-typical application domains. Versatile Discrete Event Models of Flexible Manufacturing Systems will provide you with valuable insights into modelling and evaluation of models, methods and applications necessary for an effective implementation of DESs formalisms. People with diverse background like research, academia, etc., can take advantage of this book and can shape a new way of analyzing manufacturing systems.
