Abstract
A formal mathematical framework for a distributed task planning method suitable for computer-integrated manufacturing systems is proposed. A ll pertinent algorithms are derived. A detailed timing analysis associ ated with primitive actions and activities (complex tasks) execution i s presented. A formal language is designed for event tracking and erro r specification. Based on the derived language, an error recovery mech anism (automaton) is proposed. A case study demonstrates the applicabi lity of the presented method with and without error occurrences.
