As computing power increases, many researchers have addressed online discrete event
simulation approaches for real-time decision making in manufacturing shop floors. They …

This paper presents a formal model of the execution portion of shop-floor controllers that
operate in a distributed control environment. This model, called a message-based part state …

The paper addresses the complex task of initializing an on-line simulation to a current
system state collected from an operating physical system. The paper begins by discussing …
