A simulation testbed for comparing the performance of alternative control architectures
Paul Rogers, Robert W. Brennan · 1997
This paper addresses the issue of appropriate control architectures for automated manufacturing systems.An experimental testbed for the evaluation of alternative control architectures is described that integrates discreteevent simulation (implemented with Arena) and a modular object-oriented state/control development environment (implemented in C++).As well, manufacturing system performance results for three test control architectures are presented.
