Steel Production Scheduling Based on Priced Timed Automata
Lixia Ji · Advances in engineering research/Advances in Engineering Research · 2015
Scheduling production of steel is very complex because there are many different types of intricate constraints.This paper proposes a method using priced timed automata(PTA).PTA is the formal description method and it describes the behavior of entities, attributes and constraints.Furthermore, it adds some appropriate guidance to reduce the state space.This method converts the scheduling problem into state reachability analysis.Based on this method, we use price element to minimize the production cost.
