It is certainly worth remarking on half a century of a work defining a landmark in Discrete
Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS) theory. This invited contribution aims to combine some …

There is a kind of movement for people to consider sustainability in all their daily activities,
not only in the acquisition of goods and services but including the care for health. This …

Fuzzy Petri nets (PNs) discussed in the literature are usually considered as expert systems
involving fuzzy-based reasoning. They are used as decision support or monitoring systems …

In a new industrial business model, all aspects of sustainability, ie (i) environmental for
reduction of negative impacts of using resources,(ii) economic for viability and profitability of …

This paper presents an approach to model, design and verify scenarios of real-time systems
used in the scheduling and global coordination of batch systems. The initial requirements of …

In this paper, a predicate transition model for discrete-event systems is generalized to
include continuous dynamics, and the result is a modular hybrid predicate transition model …

With the advent of globalization, the number of geographically dispersed firms through the
global supply chain increased. The partnership between those firms contributed to the …

Although hybrid Petri net (HPN) is a popular formalism in modelling hybrid production
systems, the HPN model of large scale systems gets substantially complicated for analysis …

Em função da capacidade computacional instalada e da estrutura dispersa de alguns
sistemas produtivos, existe interesse em soluções de modelagem e simulação distribuída …

The purpose of this study is to create, analyze and reuse an ontology-based approach
during implementation of a multi-agent system (MAS) capable of integrating different …
