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

Automated guided vehicle traffic control at a container terminal
TL;DR: A new modelling technique which has been used to successfully model the relevant aspects of traffic control is presented in this paper and it is possible to follow a structural approach in the design of a traffic control configuration.

Petri Net Plans
TL;DR: Petri Net Plans (PNPs) as mentioned in this paper is a language based on Petri Nets (PNs) that allows for intuitive and effective robot and multi-robot behavior design.

Zero-suppressed BDDs and their applications
TL;DR: This article studies a special type of ordered binary decision diagram (OBDD), called zero-suppressed BDDs (ZBDDs), which represents sets of combinations more efficiently than using original OBDDs.

Reachability analysis of real-time systems using time Petri nets
Jiacun Wang,Yi Deng,G. Xu +2 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a new reachability based analysis technique for TPNs for timing property analysis and verification that effectively addresses the problem and shows how to apply it to timing property verification of the TPN model of a command and control (C2) system.

Testing and verification in service-oriented architecture: a survey
TL;DR: The previous work undertaken on testing and verification of service‐centric systems is surveyed, showing the strengths and weaknesses of current strategies and testing tools and identifying issues for future work.

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.
