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

Modeling and controlling an isolated urban intersection based on cooperative vehicles
Mourad Ahmane,Abdeljalil Abbas-Turki,Florent Perronnet,Jia Wu,Abdellah El Moudni,Jocelyn Buisson,Renan Zeo +6 more
TL;DR: A model based on Timed Petri Nets with Multipliers (TPNM) which allows the control policy through the structural analysis to be proposed and the resulting switching rules are very simplistic and efficient for isolated intersections.

Time Petri nets for workflow modelling and analysis
Sea Ling,Heinz Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: Extending the previous results on timed Petri nets, it is shown that certain behavioural properties of workflow processes modelled in TWF-nets can be verified and illustrated the modelling of shared resources available at different times.

Comparing ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets for sequence controller design through a discrete manufacturing system
TL;DR: Criteria to compare LLDs and Petri nets in designing sequence controllers and responding to the changing control requirements are identified and the results reported will help establish Petri net based techniques for discrete-event control of industrial automated systems.

Vegetation change associated with land-use in tropical dry forest areas of Western Mexico
Ana Burgos,J. Manuel Maass +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a diagram of vegetation states and transitions (events that promote the change) was constructed using Petri nets, a tool for graphic and mathematical modelling in areas occupied by tropical dry forest in Western Mexico.

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.
