Driven by the request for increased productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness, modern
civilization increasingly has created high-performance discrete event dynamic systems …

Petri nets augmented with time are interesting models which can be used for the modelling
and analysis of a wide range of concurrent discrete-event systems. In this paper, the nature …

Petri nets were introduced in 1962 by Dr. Carl Adam Petri (Petri 1962). Petri nets are a
powerful modeling formalism in computer science, system engineering and many other …

Modem manufacturing systems are highly parallel and distributed. They need to be
analyzed from qualitative and quantitative points of view. Qualitative analysis looks for …

In this chapter we study Time Petri nets: After the introduction of this kind of time-dependent
Petri net, we will discuss variations of the rules defining the possible state changes. We then …

Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDs) permeate our world, being of great importance in
modern manufacturing processes, transportation and various forms of computer and …

It is certainly worth remarking on half a century of a work defining a landmark in Discrete
Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS) theory. This invited contribution aims to combine some …

Petri nets, as a graphical and mathematical tool, provide a uniform environment for
modelling, formal analysis, and design of discrete event systems. The main objective of this …

Carl Adam Petri is a contemporary German mathematician. In the early sixties, he defined a
general purpose mathematical model for describing relations existing between conditions …

Abstract Timed Petri Nets provide a general formalism for describing the dynamics of
Discrete Event Systems. The aim of this paper is to provide the basic equations that govern …
