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

Simulation, verification and automated composition of web services
TL;DR: This paper defines the semantics for a relevant subset of DAML-S in terms of a first-order logical language and provides decision procedures for Web service simulation, verification and composition.

Verification of Workflow Nets
TL;DR: This paper focuses on a class of Petri nets suitable for the representation, validation and verification of business procedures and shows that the correctness of a procedure represented by such a Petri net can be verified by using standard Petri-net-based techniques.

A Taxonomy of Workflow Management Systems for Grid Computing
Jia Yu,Rajkumar Buyya +1 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy that characterizes and classifies various approaches for building and executing workflows on Grids is proposed that highlights the design and engineering similarities and differences of state-of-the-art in Grid workflow systems, but also identifies the areas that need further research.

Regulated rewriting in formal language theory
Jrgen Dassow,Gheorghe Paun +1 more
TL;DR: This book presents 25 different regulating mechanisms by definitions, examples and basic facts, especially concerning hierarchies, as well as selective substitution grammars as one common generalization.

Measurement and correction of systematic odometry errors in mobile robots
Johann Borenstein,Liqiang Feng +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental results are presented that show a consistent improvement of at least one order of magnitude in odometric accuracy (with respect to systematic errors) for a mobile robot calibrated with the method described.

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.
