Abstract
Deadlock-free scheduling and control is critical for optimizing the performance of flexible assembly systems (FASs). Based on the Petri net models of FASs, this paper integrates a deadlock prevention policy with local search and develops a novel deadlock-free scheduling algorithm. A solution of the scheduling problem is coded as a chromosome representation that is a permutation with repetition of parts. By using the deadlock prevention policy, a repairing algorithm (RA) is developed to repair unfeasible chromosomes. A perturbation strategy based on estimation of distribution algorithm is developed to escape from local optima. Moreover, to improve population diversity, an acceptance criterion (AC) based on Pareto dominance is proposed. The chromosome representation, RA, perturbation strategy, and AC together support the cooperative aspect of local search for scheduling problems strongly.
