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

Model-Based Adaptation of Behavioral Mismatching Components
TL;DR: This article presents an approach for software adaptation which relies on an abstract notation based on synchronous vectors and transition systems for governing adaptation rules, and is supported by dedicated algorithms that generate automatically adaptor protocols.

Analysis and simulation of Web services
TL;DR: This work 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.

An extended event graph with negative places and tokens for time window constraints
Tae-Eog Lee,Seong-Ho Park +1 more
TL;DR: It is proved that the minimum cycle time is the same as the maximum circuit ratio of the circuits with positive token counts and that when there exists circuits with negative token counts, the maximum cycletime is bounded and the minimum circuit ratio is bounded.

Process rewrite systems
TL;DR: The most general and most expressive class of systems in this hierarchy is called process rewrite systems (PRS), which subsume Petri nets, PA-processes, and pushdown processes and are strictly more expressive than any of these.

Automatic Battery Replacement System for UAVs: Analysis and Design
TL;DR: A model to evaluate the coverage of a given UAS and a ground station capable of swapping a UAV’s batteries are proposed, followed by a discussion of prototype components and tests of some of the prototype modules.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
