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

Saturation: An efficient iteration strategy for symbolic state-space generation
TL;DR: This paper presents a novel algorithm for generating state spaces of asynchronous systems using Multi-valued Decision Diagrams, and introduces a new elegant strategy, called saturation, and implements it in the tool SMART.

Inheritance of behavior
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of inheritance of behavior in the Petri-net framework has been studied both in a simple process-algebraic setting and in a Petri net framework.

Deadlock Prevention Based on Structure Reuse of Petri Net Supervisors for Flexible Manufacturing Systems
TL;DR: A deadlock prevention method that makes a good tradeoff between optimality and computational tractability for a class of Petri nets, which can model many FMS.

Application of Petri net theory for modelling and validation of the sucrose breakdown pathway in the potato tuber
TL;DR: This work starts with hierarchical modelling of the metabolic network as a Petri net and continues with the analysis of qualitative properties of the network, which characterize the net structure and give insights into the complex net behaviour.

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.
