In this paper we examine ways to verify reference nets, a class of high level Petri nets supported by the Renew tool. We choose to restrict reference nets to hypernets, another nets-within-nets model more suitable for verification purposes thanks to an expansion toward 1-safe Petri nets. The contribution of the paper is the implementation of such analysis techniques by means of a Renew plugin. ...

This contribution presents the formalism of Elementary Object Systems (Eos). Object nets are Petri nets which have Petri nets as tokens – an approach known as the nets-within-nets paradigm. Since object nets in general are immediately Turing complete, we introduce the restricted class of elementary object nets which restrict the nesting of nets to the depth of two. One central aim of this contr...

Elementary Object Systems (EOS) is a class of Object Petri Nets that follows the “nets-within-nets” paradigm. It combines several practical as well as theoretical properties for the needs of multi-agent-systems. However, it comes with some constraints that limit their expressiveness for automatic verification purposes due to the highly expressive nature of the underlying class of Petri nets. In...

The voltage-dependent K+ channel Kv1.3 (also known as KCNA3), which plays crucial roles in leukocytes, physically interacts with KCNE4. This interaction inhibits the K+ currents because the channel is retained within intracellular compartments. Thus, KCNE subunits are regulators of K+ channels in the immune system. Although the canonical interactions of KCNE subunits with Kv7 channels are under...

In this article I will prove undecidability results for elementary object net systems (Eos). Object nets are Petri nets which have Petri nets as tokens – an approach which is called the “nets-within-nets” paradigm. Eos are special object net system which have a two leveled structure.
