Modelagem e simulação distribuída de sistema produtivo baseados em rede de petri

Based on the existing computational capability and disperse infrastructure of some productive systems, there are interest for distributed modeling and simulation of these systems. These techniques are considered fundamental for design, implementation and performance improvement of productive systems. The approach is the simulation through the use of computers physically dispersed but integrated via a communication network to evaluate the behavior of systems still in conception level and also to improve the performance of existing plants. This work proposes a procedure for modeling of productive systems in distributed environment. This procedure was applied to case studies to confirm it effectiveness. The work includes an algorithm for the management of the distributed simulation. With the modeling method and the management algorithm we have the main elements for the practical implementation of the disperse productive system simulator.
