Hierarchical Structuring of a Workflow Model in Petri-Net
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce the way of deriving hierarchical structure of a workflow model represented in classical Petrinet, even for the cases with cycles, which allows handling a workflow model efficiently. More specifically, our method identifies any block structures as candidates for the subprocesses and represents them as a single block node in the upper layer of the hierarchical model. The proposed method can make workflow analysis and design more accurate and efficient and further lead to a better design on a collaborate environment.

Using Hierarchical Structuring Mechanisms with Petri Nets for Pld Based System Design
This paper addresses the use of hierarchical model structuring mechanisms for the design of embedded systems (in the sense of reactive real-time systems), using Reactive Petri nets. Relevant characteristics of Reactive Petri nets are briefly presented and their main roots are identified, namely Coloured Petri nets, Interpreted and Synchronised Petri nets. Two structuring techniques will be pres...
