Abstract [en]

The successful design and application of a large and complex manufacturing system relies not only  on  the  maturity  of  its  fundamental  design,  but  also  on  the  technologies  for  seamless integration  and  coordination  of  system  components,  since  a  large  manufacturing  or  logistic system  often  adopts  a  decentralised  control  architecture  to  manage  its  complexity.  System components  are  usually  distributed;  their  behaviours  are  enacted  locally  and  autonomously. The control objective at the system-level is achieved by the executions of the sub-objectives at the component level, subjected to the condition that the controls of the sub-systems have to be coordinated via effective communication. In developing algorithms for communication and coordination  of  a  networked  distributed  system,  algorithm  verification  is  complicated  and trivial,  due  to  the  invisible  information  system.  In  this  chapter,  we  propose  to  use  the conventional   simulation   tool,   Deneb/QUEST,   for   modelling   and   visualisation   of   the coordinating  behaviours.  Its  vivid  graphical  environment  can  be  a  great  assistance  in accelerating  software  debugging  and  verification  and  in  reducing  the  time  for  software development. General architecture of a networked distribute system is introduced, the system components  are  analysed,  and  the  correspondences  between  these  components  and  QUEST elements  are  established.  A  case  study  for  the  verification  of  ring  extrema  determination (RED) algorithm is used as an example to illustrate the general procedure and the feasibility of the proposed approach.
