Abstract :
Within the synchrony theory, the fairness concept plays an important role in the analysis of conflict resolution in Petri net models. We apply this concept to a class of conflicts in flexible manufacturing systems and develop a simple regulation scheme that ables to integrate constraints on the mean outcome of the conflicts
