Li and Zhou propose an important concept for Petri nets: elementary siphons. They partition siphons into elementary and dependent ones. The controllability of the latter can be ensured by the former's proper control. They give a sufficient condition to decide whether a dependent siphon is controlled by its elementary ones in S 3 PR. However, this condition is so loose that in many cases the controllability of a dependent SMS cannot be determined although it is actually controlled. In this paper, we propose an improved condition to decide the controllability of strongly dependent SMS.

The information technology has been recognized as one of the most important means to improve health care and curb its ever-increasing cost. However, existing efforts mainly focus on informatization of hospitals or medical institutions within organizations, and few are directly oriented to individuals. The strong demand for various health services from customers calls for the creation of powerful individual-oriented personalized health care servicesystems. Web service composition (WSC) and related technologies can greatly help one build such systems. This paper aims to present a newly developed platform called a Public oriented Health care Information service Platform (PHISP) and several novel WSC techniques that are used to build it. Among them include WSC techniques that can well support branch and parallel structures.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology where a reader device can "sense'' the presence of a close by object by reading a tag device attached to the object. To guarantee the coverage quality, multiple RFID readers can be deployed in the given region. In this paper, we consider the problem of activation schedule for readers in a multi-reader environment. In particular, we try to design a schedule for readers to maximize the number of served tags per time-slot while avoiding various interferences. We first develop a centralized algorithm under the assumption that different readers may have different interference and interrogation radius. Next, we propose a novel algorithm which does not need any location information of the readers. Finally, we extend the previous algorithm in distributed manner in order to suit the case where no central entity exists. We conduct extensive simulations to study the performances of our proposed algorithm. And our evaluation results corroborate our theoretical analysis.

A short-term scheduling problem for crude oil operations is highly challenging. There lack efficient techniques and software tools for its solution. Our prior research shows that it may be solved in a hierarchical way. At the upper level, we find a realizable refining schedule to optimize concerned objectives. At the lower level, a detailed schedule is obtained to realize it. This work attempts to present a three-stage method to solve the the upper level problem from a control perspective. The first stage solves a linear programming problem to determine the maximal production rate. The second one solves a transportation problem to optimally assign crude oil types and volume to the distillers. The last one adjusts and sequences oil parcels. Consequently, the proposed method is computationally efficient. An industrial case study is presented to show the result.
