Petri Nets, Discrete Physics, and Distributed Quantum Computation
نویسنده
چکیده
We shall describe connections between Petri nets, quantum physics and category theory. The view of Net theory as a kind of discrete physics has been consistently emphasized by Carl-Adam Petri. The connections between Petri nets and monoidal categories were illuminated in pioneering work by Ugo Montanari and José Meseguer. Recent work by the author and Bob Coecke has shown how monoidal categories with certain additional structure (dagger compactness) can be used as the setting for an effective axiomatization of quantum mechanics, with striking applications to quantum information. This additional structure matches the extension of the Montanari-Meseguer approach by Marti-Oliet and Meseguer, motivated by linear logic.

Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Distributed Systems: An Approach by Partially Stochastic Petri Nets
We address the problem of alarm correlation in large distributed systems. The key idea is to make use of the concurrence of events in order to separate and simplify the state estimation in a faulty system. Petri nets and their causality semantics are used to model concurrency. Special partially stochastic Petri nets are developed, that establish some kind of equivalence between concurrence and ...
متن کاملUsing Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
متن کاملTime Management Approach on a Discrete Event Manufacturing System Modeled by Petri Net
Discrete event system, Supervisory control, Petri Net, Constraint This paper presents a method to manage the time in a manufacturing system for obtaining an optimized model. The system in this paper is modeled by the timed Petri net and the optimization is performed based on the structural properties of Petri nets. In a system there are some states which are called forbidden states an...
متن کاملBounded Parametric Verification for Distributed Time Petri Nets with Discrete-Time Semantics
Bounded Model Checking (BMC) is an efficient technique applicable to verification of temporal properties of (timed) distributed systems. In this paper we show for the first time how to apply BMC to parametric verification of time Petri nets with discrete-time semantics. The properties are expressed by formulas of the logic PRTECTL a parametric extension of the existential fragment of Computatio...
متن کاملModeling of Continuous Systems Using Modified Petri Nets
Due to the changes which may occur in their parameters, systems are usually demonstrated by some subsystems for different conditions. This paper employs Modified Petri Nets (MPN) to model theses subsystems and makes it simple to analyze them. In this method, first, the continuous transfer function is converted to a discrete transfer function and then, by MPN, system is modeled and analyzed. All...
