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 implementing a real-time scheduler for dual-armed cluster tools
TL;DR: A model-based approach based on finite state machines (FSMs) is proposed to develop a real-time scheduler for dual-armed cluster tools that specifies the scheduling decisions for normal operation and encodes real- time control decisions to cope with disturbances.

Modelling and analysis techniques for cross‐organizational workflow systems
TL;DR: The modeling approaches for the inter-organizational workflows is emphasized and introduced in detail in this paper and some interesting research issues in the area are discussed in both technical and managerial perspectives.

Analysis of Deadlock and Circular Waits Using a Matrix Model for Flexible Manufacturing Systems
TL;DR: An on-line maximally permissive control policy for deadlock avoidance (MAXWIP) is devised, which can be efficiently implemented by incorporating the ''outer-loop'' control decisions via certain dispatching control inputs.

Achieving dynamic inter-organizational workflow management by integrating business processes, events and rules
TL;DR: A dynamic workflow model and a dynamic workflow management system for modeling and controlling the execution of inter-organizational business processes are described.

Decentralized Supervision of Petri Nets With a Coordinator
TL;DR: A decentralized supervision policy for a Petri net through collaboration between a coordinator and subnet controllers is developed and a protocol to reach an agreement on the firing conditions of common transitions among the subnets controllers is proposed.

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.
