TL;DR: This article deals with the qualitative modelling of batch production plants with Petri net based approach and the use of the modelling formalism is illustrated through an example dealing with the coordination of a batch manufacturing system.

TL;DR: It is proposed that assigning ontological semantics to process modeling constructs can result in more meaningful models that can impose constraints on the allowed process models which in turn can provide rules for developing process models.
Abstract: Syntactically correct process models are not necessarily meaningful or represent processes that are feasible to execute. Specifically, when executed, the modeled processes might not be guaranteed to reach their goals. We propose that assigning ontological semantics to process modeling constructs can result in more meaningful models. Furthermore, the ontological semantics can impose constraints on the allowed process models which in turn can provide rules for developing process models. In particular, such models can be designed to be valid in the senses that the process can accomplish its goal when executed. We demonstrate this approach for Petri Net based process models.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how architectural modeling can be used to control properties of industrial scale products and product families and that a special purpose model can be constructed for large systems also and that this model predicts system properties accurately enough to be useful.
Abstract: We present an application of colored Petri nets to the modeling of a software architecture. Our work demonstrates how architectural modeling can be used to control properties of industrial scale products and product families. The new software architecture of a mobile phone family is modeled by colored Petri nets and analyzed using the Design/CPN tool. The model describes the execution architecture and allows us to analyze both the time and space performance of the software system. Our experience shows that a special purpose model can be constructed for large systems also and that this model predicts system properties accurately enough to be useful. The insight this gave us into the internal operation of the software system together with the estimates of its performance have guided us through the early phases of architectural design. We continue to maintain the model and expect it to be a valuable tool in configuring different product family members.

TL;DR: Using the well-known example of the Beer Game, a systematic method supporting the bottom-up construction of re-usable models of supply chains in the Petri nets domain together with their associated experimental frames is presented.
Abstract: In this paper the authors propose an implementation of an incremental approach to modelling discrete event systems at the structural level of systems specification. Using the well-known example of the Beer Game, a systematic method supporting the bottom-up construction of re-usable models of supply chains in the Petri nets domain together with their associated experimental frames is presented. The construction adheres to well-defined rules, which would enable computer-based model generation.

TL;DR: The approach is based on the notion of basis markings and j-vectors and it is shown that, in the case of bounded Petri nets, the most burdensome part of the procedure may be moved off-line, computing a particular graph that is called Basis Reachability Graph.
