Since a deadlock is a condition in which the excessive demand for the resources being used by others causes activities to stop, it is very important to detect and prevent a deadlock. About the deadlock detection analysis methods are may divide like as Siphon, DAPN and transitive matrix, but it's very difficult to evaluate the performance. Since DES (Discrete Event Systems) is NP-hard, and these detection and avoidance methods used various factors in each technique, it's made difficult to compare with each other's. In this paper, we are benchmarked these deadlock detection analyze methods based on the complexity, the detection time and the understanding after approached to one example.

The Flexible Management System (FMS) consists of parallel and concurrent machines, pieces of equipment, and carrying systems classified as buffers, tools, and routers, respectively. The concurrent flow of multiple productions in a system is competed with one another for resources and this resulting competition can cause a deadlock in FMS. Since a deadlock is a condition in which the excessive demand for the resources being used by others causes activities to stop, it is very important to detect and prevent a deadlock. Herein a new algorithm has been studied in order to detect and prevent deadlocks, after defining a relationship between the general places and resource share places in Petri nets like as DAPN: Deadlock Avoidance Petri Net. For presenting the results, the suggested algorithms were also adapted to the models that demonstrated FMS features.
