In this paper we present a Petri-net-based approach to consider fault tolerance aspects in a modiied control track vehicle system. The proposed approach is based on Fuzzy Time G-Nets which is the integration of two Petri Nets extensions: Fuzzy Time Petri Net (timing Petri net extension) and G-Nets (Petri net extended with object oriented concepts). We also show how to model such system by means...

The increasing number of Petri net variants naturally leads to the question whether the term “Petri net” is more than a common name for very different concepts. This contribution tries to identify aspects common to all or at least to most Petri nets. It concentrates on those features where Petri nets significantly differ from other modeling languages, i.e. we ask where the use of Petri nets lea...

Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and analyzing their performance and scalability. By combining the modeling power and expressiveness of queueing networks and stochastic Petri nets, queueing Petri nets provide a number of advantages. In this paper, we present our tool QPME (Queueing Petri net Modeling Environment) for modeling an...

Time and Petri nets-do they not contradict each other? While time determines the occurrences of events in a system, classic Petri nets consider their causal relationships and represent events as a concurrent system. At first, these two appear to be at odds with each other, but taking a closer look at how time and causality are intertwined, one realizes that time actually enriches Petri nets. Th...

As part of the Petri Net Baukastenn Pad99b] the Expert View presents mathematical concepts and results of Petri net theory in a structured and application oriented way. Consistent formal Petri net techniques and transformations between these are main issues. We introduce the notions of formal Petri net techniques, abstract Petri net frames, instantiations, and transformations. These notions are...

Petri nets have been widely used to model dynamic systems, namely manufacturing systems. In this paper we introduce the use of Petri nets to model robotic tasks. Diierent views of the robotic task model can be modeled by distinct Petri net types: interpreted Petri nets for task design and execution, generalized stochastic Petri nets for task quantitative performance evaluation and ordinary Petr...

Petri nets are suitable for modelling of discrete-event systems with highly parallel and cooperating activities. In complex man-made systems, such as manufacturing systems, the systems’ specific properties, such as conflicts, deadlocks, limited buffer sizes, and finite resource constraints can be easily represented in the Petri net model. Therefore teaching of Petri net basics is an inevitable ...

Petri nets are used to study many types of networked systems. [1] have designed a software tool for analysis and simulation of Petri nets. We extend this tool to handle a form of Petri net known as Predicate Transition (PrT) nets. We implement mechanisms that automate the process of folding a Petri net to a PrT net and finding invariants. We can compute invariants for systems that use either Pe...
