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

The best of both worlds: the efficient asynchronous implementation of synchronous specifications
TL;DR: This paper describes the description of two optimizations that decrease the overhead of desynchronization by applying temporal analysis on a formal execution model of the desynchronized design, and uncovers significant amounts of timing slack.

Applying Propositional Logic to Workflow Verification
Henry H. Bi,J. Leon Zhao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a logic-based workflow verification method based on a well-known formalism, i.e., propositional logic, has been proposed to detect process anomalies in workflow models.
Synthesis of Asynchronous Control Circuits from Graph-Theoretic Specifications
TL;DR: This work deals with the theoretical foundations of a method to transform a given STG into an STG that satisfies the original timing behavior and that in addition obeys the unique state coding requirement.

Multi-Contingency Cascading Analysis of Smart Grid Based on Self-Organizing Map
TL;DR: This paper proposes an integrated approach combining spatial feature (distance)-based clustering with electrical characteristics (load) to assess the vulnerability and cascading effect of multiple component sets in the power grid.

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.
