Abstract

Banker's-like approaches to deadlock avoidance are based on a decision procedure to grant active processes resources using information about the maximum needs of resources that a process can request in order to ensure termination. The paper presents an extension of the classical Banker's algorithm to a class of flexible manufacturing systems modeled by means of Petri nets. These systems have two interesting characteristics from the application point of view. First, flexible routing of parts is allowed, and second, a multiset of resources is allowed to be used at each processing step. The decision procedure introduced is polynomial in the Petri net model size.
