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

Workflow mining: discovering process models from event logs
TL;DR: A new algorithm is presented to extract a process model from a so-called "workflow log" containing information about the workflow process as it is actually being executed and represent it in terms of a Petri net.

Superposed Automata Nets
TL;DR: The capability of representing in an highly communicable way the concurrency among autonomous subsystems is frequently crucial in real systems modelling, whichever the nature of the system can be.

Extending Petri nets for specifying man-machine dialogues
TL;DR: Petri nets are identified as possible candidates for a modelling technique for dialogues on the basis of their applicability to concurrent, asynchronous systems and extended to nested Petri nets, allowing transitions to invoke subnets.

Coordination technology and Petri nets
TL;DR: This paper introduces a new approach to Petri net interpretation that properly interpreted Petri nets yield new insights about the mechanics of human work organizations and takes technically useful form.
