Synchronic relations with a time constraint

Three synchronic variables (Deviation Time, Fairness Time, Synchronic Time) are defined for Timed Place Petri Nets (TPPN). These parameters show the dependency between the firing of transition subsets in the time domain by different values. The approaches in this paper can be used to find synchronic relations in Stochastic Petri Nets. This paper presents how to decide the minimum resources required to a Flexible Manufacturing Cell using Synchronic Time concept.
