Petri Nets Are Dioids

چکیده
In a seminal paper Montanari and Meseguer showed that an algebraic interpretation of Petri nets in terms of commutative monoids can be used to provide an elegant characterisation of the deterministic computations of a net, accounting for their sequential and parallel composition. Here we show that, along the same lines, by adding an (idempotent) operation and thus taking dioids (commutative semirings) rather than monoids, one can faithfully characterise the non-deterministic computations of a Petri net.

Nets Enriched over Closed Monoidal Structures
We show how the firing rule of Petri nets relies on a residuation operation for the commutative monoid of natural numbers. On that basis we introduce closed monoidal structures which are residuated monoids. We identify a class of closed monoidal structures (associated with a family of idempotent group dioids) for which one can mimic the token game of Petri nets to define the behaviour of these ...
متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
متن کاملSoccer Goalkeeper Task Modeling and Analysis by Petri Nets
In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...
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 کاملAlgebraic Tools for the Performance Evaluation of Discrete Event Systems∗
In this paper, it is shown that a certain class of Petri nets called event graphs can be represented as linear ”time-invariant” finite-dimensional systems using some particular algebras. This sets the ground on which a theory of these systems can be developped in a manner which is very analogous to that of conventional linear system theory. Part 2 of the paper is devoted to showing some prelimi...
