TL;DR: A comprehensive review of recent research on the representation and analysis of metabolic pathways by using Petri nets is presented in order to assess the maturity of the field and the availability of a methodology for modelling a metabolic pathway by a corresponding Petri net.

TL;DR: This paper models interconnected wireless sensors with the paradigm of Energy Packet Networks (EPN) and shows that under some reasonable conditions, assuming feedforward flow of data packets and local consumption and leakage of energy, such networks have product form solutions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the product-form condition for open nets depends, in general, on the transition rates, whereas closed nets have only structural conditions for a product-forms, except in rather pathological cases.

TL;DR: This work shows that SPNs with signals are strict generalisations of G-networks with negative customers, triggers and catastrophes, and appeals to the Reversed Compound Agent Theorem to prove new product-form solutions for SPNs in which there are special transitions.

TL;DR: This work states that next-generation wireless networks have to be robust and self-sustained and seamless integration demands overhauling the whole communication stack from physical layer to application layer, which makes it easy to widely deploy the network.
