For a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) or Resource Allocation System (RAS) which can be decomposed into a number of synchronized choice nets interconnected by resource places, we propose to efficiently extract strict minimal siphons (SMS) in an incremental fashion rather than the traditional global approach. Only a subset of all SMS needs to be searched. The rest SMS can be found by adding and deleting common sets of places from existing ones.

Keywords: Petri nets, siphons, traps, FMS, algorithm, liveness, deadlock
