A unified formal model for the complete and accurate specification of both temporal and logical synchronization within hypermedia distributed and weakly synchronous systems is introduced.
Abstract
The paper introduces a unified formal model for the complete and accurate specification of both temporal and logical (i.e., link) synchronization within hypermedia distributed and weakly synchronous systems. This new model extends time Petri nets with hierarchical design capabilities and new firing rules. These new firing rules enlighten the notion of hypermedia synchronization through powerful combinations of temporal and logical synchronization. Moreover, the proposed model offers an easy and concise modeling technique of asynchronous events in hypermedia systems.

A brief survey and synthesis of the roles of time in petri nets

TL;DR: The nature of the semantics of different approaches to incorporating time in Petri nets is illustrated by examples and the critical roles of conflict, confusion and concurrence in the formulation of execution policies are considered.

An Algebraic Framework for Urgency

TL;DR: In this article, a sub-class of timed automata with deadlines, known as timed-autata-with-firm deadlines, is defined and parallel composition and other operators are defined according to 'orthogonality' principal for timed process algebras and hybrid automata.

Petri nets: Properties, analysis and applications

TL;DR: The author proceeds with introductory modeling examples, behavioral and structural properties, three methods of analysis, subclasses of Petri nets and their analysis, and one section is devoted to marked graphs, the concurrent system model most amenable to analysis.
