Deadlock detection in distributed systems is considered difficult since no single site knows the exact information on the whole system state. This paper proposes a time-efficient algorithm for distributed deadlock detection and resolution. The initiator of the algorithm propagates a deadlock detection message and builds a reduced wait-for graph from the information carried by the replies. The time required for deadlock detection is reduced to half of that of the other algorithms. Moreover, any deadlock reachable from the initiator is detected whereas most previous algorithms only find out whether the initiator is involved in deadlock. This feature accelerates the detection of deadlock. Resolution of the detected deadlock is also simplified and precisely specified, while the current algorithms either present no resolution scheme or simply abort the initiator of the algorithm upon detecting deadlock.

Most algorithms for handling distributed deadlock problem in the generalized request model use the diffusing computation technique where propagation of probes and backward propagation of replies carrying dependency information between processes are both required to detect deadlock Since fast deadlock detection is critical, we propose an algorithm that lets probes rather than replies carry the information required for deadlock detection. This helps to remove the backward propagation of replies and reduce the time cost for deadlock detection to almost half of that of the existing algorithms. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is extended to deal with concurrent executions, which achieves further improvement of deadlock detection time, whereas the current algorithms deal only with a single execution. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of the other algorithms through simulation experiments.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 장치장과 안벽 사이를 오가며 컨테이너를 운반하는 무인유도 차량(Automated Guided Vehicle: AGV)들이 효율적으로 주행하여 제 시간에 필요한 위치에 도착함으로써 연계 작업들의 지연을 최소화하여야 한다, 만일 AGV들이 목적지까지 주행하여야 하는 거리가 길거나 주행 중에 다른 AGV들과의 충돌이나 교축을 피하기 위하여 대기하여야 하는 상황이 빈번히 발생하면 주행 효율이 떨어지게 된다, 주행 경로의 길이를 줄이기 위하여 경로들을 보다 유연하게 설정할 수 있게 허용하면 경로들간의 교차 가능성이 높아져 교통 통제가 어려워지고 결과적으로 충돌과 교착이 발생할 가능성은 높아진다. 특히 교착을 사전에 방지하기 위하서는 문제가 발생할 소지가 있는 영역을 미리 파악하여 일부 영역을 다른 AGV들이 점유하지 못하도록 제한하여야 하는데, 이는 자칫 AGV 주행 공간의 활용도를 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 또한 교착의 파악과 이를 방지하기 위한 제어는 실시간에 이루어져야 하므로 연산 부담이 상당하다. 본 논문에서는 유연한 주행 경로 설정이 가능하며 주행 공간을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 주행 경로 표현법과 충돌 방지 방안을 제안한다. 또한 교착 발생 가능성을 사전에 파악하고 회피(avoidance)하는데 소요되는 연산비용을 줄여 실시간 적용 가능성을 높이기 위하여 교착해결(deadlock resolution)에 기반을 둔 AGV 주행 관리 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안의 효율성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증해 보았다.

대부분의 퍼즐 게임에서 발생 할 수 있는 중요한 문제 중 하나는 교착상태 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 교착상태를 해결하기 위해 퍼즐 게임을 그래프 기법으로 나타낸 뒤, 이를 이용한 새로운 교착상태 발견 기법인 Cycle Detection을 제안한다. 기존의 기법들은 알고리즘을 수행하는데 너무 많은 시간이 걸리거나, 패턴에 대한 데이터베이스가 구축되어 있어야 하기 때문에 실시간으로 교착상태를 발견하기엔 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 탐색해야 하는 노드의 개수를 최대한 줄이는 Local search 기법과 Pruning 기법을 적용하여 퍼즐 게임을 플레이하는 동안 실시간으로 교착상태를 발견할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 본 기법은 성능을 평가하기 위해 실제 퍼즐게임 환경에서 알고리즘을 수행하고, 그 결과로 검색하는 노드의 개수와 검색 시간을 기존의 기법과 비교하여 성능향상을 확인하였다.

This thesis shows that the edge-chasing deadlock detection algorithm of Choudhary fails to remove the existing deadlocks after committing the transaction whose priority is lowest on the transaction wait-fer path. A modified algorithm that solves this problem is proposed.

In this study, the focus is on the issue of whether a container terminal is facing the limitation of its productivity for serving mega-vessels with numerous containers. In order to enhance the terminal operations, a new conceptual design of the container handling system have been proposed. This research focuses on the rail-based container transport system and its operations. This system consists of rail-based shuttle cranes and rail-based transporters called flatcars. The deadlock problem for managing automated transporters in container terminals has been an important issue for a long measurement of time. Therefore, this study defines the deadlock situation and proposes its avoidance rules at the rail-based container transport system, which is required to handle numerous container throughput operations. The deadlock in the rail-based container transport system is classified into two parts: deadlock between cranes and flatcars; deadlock between flatcars. We developed the simulation model for use with characterizing and analyzing the rail-based container transport system. By running the simulation, we derived possible deadlock situations, and propose the several deadlock avoidance algorithms to provide results for these identified situations. In the simulation experiments, the performances of the deadlock avoidance algorithms are compared according to the frequency of deadlocks as noted in the simulations.

Before Industry 4.0, a purpose of manufacturing processes is simply overcoming the weakness of product line. However, Industry 4.0 should determine its method of work of facilities' own accord. Manufacturing processes such as FMS, AMS, MAS have been developed in these procedures, but there are possibilities of deadlock that can be happened for the reason of machine, agent or resource sharing. There were many studies to solve this problem. However, studies about prevention of deadlock happened in the situation that manufacturing processes are reconfigured dinamically because of human's intervention are incomplete. This paper proposes the model of the situation reconfigured dinamically and the method to prevent the deadlock in this situation. The proposed method adjusts production and manufacturing time by broadcasting time error messages to machines around when the manufacturing time of machine intervened by human is changed. Through this, it is anticipated to prevent the deadlock if conditions of the product line are changed.

In modern automated container terminals, automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems are considered a viable option for the horizontal tansportation of containers between the stacking yard and the quayside cranes. AGVs in a container terminal move rather freely and do not follow fixed guide paths. For an efficient operation of such AGVs, however, a sophisticated traffic management system is required. Although the flexible routing scheme allows us to find the shortest possible routes for each of the AGVs, it may incur many coincidental encounters and path intersections of the AGVs, leading to collisions or deadlocks. However, the computational cost of perfect prediction and avoidance of deadlocks is prohibitively expensive for a real time application. In this paper, we propose a traffic control method that predicts and avoids some simple, but at the same time the most frequently occurring, cases of deadlocks between two AGVs. More complicated deadlock situations are not predicted ahead of time but detected and resolved after they occur. Our method is computationally cheap and readily applicable to real time applications. The efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed methods have been validated by simulation.
