Discrete Event System with Bounded Random Time Variation

제한된 시간변동을 갖는 시간제약 이산사건시스템의 스케줄링 분석

We discuss scheduling analysis for a discrete event system with time windows of which firing or holding time delays are subject to random variation within some finite range. To do this, we propose a modified p-lime Petri net, named p+-time Petri net. We develop a condition for which a synchronized transition does not have a dead token, that is, the firing epochs do not violate the time window constraints. We propose a method of computing the feasible range of the token sojourn time at each place based on a time difference graph. We also discuss an application for analyzing wafer residency times within the process chambers for a dual-armed cluster tool for chemical vapor deposition.
