Prior to the deployment of any new or replacement component within a transportation system, it should be demonstrated that the modified system meets or exceeds the safety requirem...
This paper presents the development of a flexible simulation model of the rail operations at the Tropicana facility in Bradenton, Florida. The complexity of the process and system...
Scheduling of processes in mixed batch/continuous plants, due to their hybrid nature can become very complex. This paper presents the Timed Hybrid Petri net (THPN) as a suitable t...
In this paper we analyze and evaluate the effects of some pre-defined process parameters on the performance of a manufacturing system. These parameters include two different plant...
This paper presents a new workload model, called the state-dependent deadline model, for applications whose high-level timing requirements may change with time. The problem is how...
