Starts with a brief review of the history and the application areas considered in the literature. The author then proceeds with introductory modeling examples, behavioral and structural properties, three methods of analysis, subclasses of Petri nets and their analysis. In particular, one section is devoted to marked graphs, the concurrent system model most amenable to analysis. Introductory discussions on stochastic nets with their application to performance modeling, and on high-level nets with their application to logic programming, are provided. Also included are recent results on reachability criteria. Suggestions are provided for further reading on many subject areas of Petri nets. >read more

ProM : the process mining toolkit
van der Wmp Wil Aalst,van Bf Boudewijn Dongen,CW Christian Günther,A Anne Rozinat,Hmw Eric Verbeek,Ajmm Ton Weijters +5 more
TL;DR: ProM 6 has been developed from scratch and uses a completely redesigned architecture and the introduction of XESame in this toolkit allows for the conversion of logs to the ProM native format without programming.

Detection and prediction of errors in EPCs of the SAP reference model
TL;DR: This article translated about 600 process models expressed as Event-driven Process Chains into YAWL models, and discovered that at least 34 of these EPCs contain errors, and used logistic regression to show that complexity of E PCs has a significant impact on error probability.

Stochastic Petri Nets: Modelling, Stability, Simulation
TL;DR: This book presents an introduction to Stochastic Petri Nets covering the modeling power of the proposed SPN model, the stability conditions and the simulation methods.

Control of vector discrete-event systems. II. Controller synthesis
Yong Li,W. M. Wonham +1 more
TL;DR: This paper shows that associated control synthesis problems of Ramadge-Wonham type can be efficiently solved under mild technical restrictions, using elementary methods combined with linear integer programming.

Symbolic model checking of UML activity diagrams
TL;DR: Two translations from activity diagrams to the input language of NuSMV, a symbolic model verifier, are presented and it is shown that for a large class of activity diagrams and certain properties, both translations are equivalent: regardless of which translation is used, the outcome of model checking is the same.

Kommunikation mit Automaten
TL;DR: The theory of automata is shown not capable of representing the actual physical flow of information in the solution of a recursive problem and a theory of communication is proposed that yields a means of representation that with equal rigor and simplicity accomplishes more than the theory of synchronous automata.

A class of generalized stochastic Petri nets for the performance evaluation of multiprocessor systems
TL;DR: It is shown that GSPN are equivalent to continuous-time stochastic processes, and solution methods for the derivation of the steady state probability distribution are presented.

Performance Analysis Using Stochastic Petri Nets
TL;DR: An isomorphism between the behavior of Petri nets with exponentially distributed transition rates and Markov processes is presented and this work solves for the steady state average message delay and throughput on a communication link when the alternating bit protocol is used for error recovery.

Parallel program schemata
TL;DR: This paper introduces a model called the parallel program schema for the representation and study of programs containing parallel sequencing, related to Ianov's program schema, but extends it, both by modelling memory structure in more detail and by admitting parallel computation.

Recoverability of Communication Protocols--Implications of a Theoretical Study
P. Merlin,D. Farber +1 more
TL;DR: The time-Petri net (TPN) appears to be a suitable model for the study of practical recoverable processes and several practical communication protocols are formally designed and analyzed using this new model.
