Learning Automata-Based Adaptive Petri Net and Its Application to Priority Assignment in Queuing Systems With Unknown Parameters

چکیده مقاله

in this paper an adaptive Petri net, capable of adaptation to environmental changes, is introduced by the fusion of learning automata and Petri net. In this new model, called learning automata-based Adaptive Petri Net (APN-LA), learning automata are used to resolve the conflicts among the transitions. In the proposed APN-LA model, transitions are portioned into several sets of conflicting transitions and each set of conflicting transitions is equipped with a learning automaton which is responsible for controlling the conflicts among transitions in the corresponding transition set. We also generalize the proposed APN-LA to ASPN-LA which is a fusion between LA and Stochastic Petri net (SPN). An application of the proposed ASPN-LA to priority assignment in queuing systems with unknown parameters is also presented.
