Time Petri Net with Ant Colony Mechanism and Its Application in Scheduling Optimization of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
Heuristic algorithms based on state search are usually used to solve scheduling problems of Petri nets.Suffering from the state space explosion
their executions are often not efficient for large-scale problems.This paper proposes a time Petri net with ant colony mechanism to address this problem.We introduce pheromones and foraging rules of ants into transitions and evolution rules of a time Petri net.The proposed model can work out scheduling problems during the run of a Petri net without building reachability tree.We use this model to describe and solve an interval job shop scheduling problem.The experimental results further verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
