This paper presents a real life Petri Net-based framework for integrated and collaborative project management in the Animation and Videogame (A&V) industry. This framework provides an all-in-one modeling, scheduling, and simulation tool. The purpose of the framework is twofold: First to facilitate the configuration (and eventual reconfiguration) of projects and second, provide appropriate analy...

Answering realistic questions about biological systems and pathways similar to the ones used by text books to test understanding of students about biological systems is one of our long term research goals. Often these questions require simulation based reasoning. To answer such questions, we need formalisms to build pathway models, add extensions, simulate, and reason with them. We chose Petri ...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) of the machines in the production process, with the objective of measure the quality and efficiency of the process and the used resources (machines). For this analysis the present work shows the Colored Petri Nets for the modeling the flow data in Factory Information System (FIS). The obtained net represents the nece...

Complex and customized manufacturing requires a high level of collaboration between production and logistics in a flexible production system. With the widespread use of Internet of Things technology in manufacturing, a great amount of real-time and multi-source manufacturing data and logistics data is created, that can be used to perform production-logistics collaboration. To solve the aforemen...

Open distributed multi-agent systems are gaining interest in the academic community and in industry. In such open settings, agents are often coordinated using standardized agent conversation protocols. The representation of such protocols (for analysis, validation, monitoring, etc) is an important aspect of multi-agent applications. Recently, Petri nets have been shown to be an interesting appr...

We give a high-level overview of our recent results which extend and unify the lines of research initiated by Meseguer and Montanari under the motto “Petri nets are monoids”, and by Marti-Oliet, Meseguer and other authors in their linear logic axiomization of Petri nets. In particular, we investigate the use of rewriting logic, which was partially inspired by the two aforementioned approaches, ...

In this paper, we present a new way to simulate Turing machines using a specific form of Petri nets such that the resulting nets are capable of thoroughly describing behavior of the input Turing machines. We model every element of a Turing machine’s tuple F) q0, δ, Σ, b, Γ, Q, (i.e., with an equivalent translation in Colored Petri net’s set of elements with priority transitions such that the re...

The purpose of modeling enterprise architecture and analysis of it is to ease decision making about architecture of information systems. Planning is one of the most important tasks in an organization and has a major role in increasing the productivity of it. Scope of this paper is scheduling processes in the enterprise architecture. Scheduling is decision making on execution start time of proce...

grid computing is an emerging computing paradigm that will have significant impact on the next generation information infrastructure. due to the largeness and complexity of grid system, its quality of service, performance and reliability are difficult to model, analyze and evaluate. this paper proposes a virtual tree-structured model of the grid service. this model simplifies the physical struc...

At present, the resource modeling of workflow net (WF-net) are too simple to describe complex workflow. Thus, its application is not satisfying in practical use. Based on the analysis of resource management problems, unified resources management which gets the identical resource request and release process is proposed. The method of identical resource-modeling reduces complexity of WF-net model...
