Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Input-Output Place-Transition Petri Net Class and Associated Tools
TL;DR: This paper identifies and justifies the characteristics of one class of Petri nets targeted for the modelling of automation systems and (networked) embedded systems, named as input-output Petri net (IOPT), and its representation using the PetriNet markup language (PNML).
Journal ArticleDOI
Structuring and composability issues in Petri nets modeling
Luis Gomes,João Paulo Barros +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a classification system for Petri nets' structuring mechanisms and discusses each one of them, emphasizing the application of the presented mechanisms to specific areas, namely to automation systems modeling, and software engineering, where object-oriented modeling plays a major role.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
From Petri net models to VHDL implementation of digital controllers
TL;DR: The paper presents some rules used by an automatic code generator able to produce VHDL code starting with the PNML representation of the Petri net model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using lab exams to ensure programming practice in an introductory programming course
TL;DR: Results show that lab exams, although more demanding then group assignments, can be made popular among students if they perceived them as fairer, and show the difficult balances of several assessment methods.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Net model composition and modification by net operations: a pragmatic approach
João Paulo Barros,Luis Gomes +1 more
TL;DR: A set of operations on nets based on the concepts of net instances and fusion sets are presented, supporting the specification of net structure's abstractions and net model transformations in an integrated and generic way.
