Abstract
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. >

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.

Performance analysis and optimization of VLSI dataflow arrays

TL;DR: A datallow graph model for the timing analysis of general (cyclic or acyclic), decision-free asynchronous architectures is introduced and it is shown how the results of this analysis can be used to synthesize optimal special-purpose hardware implementations of both general datallow arrays and regular wavefront arrays.
