The book provides a detailed introduction to basic concepts such as global time, global state, and global control, and demonstrates how they relate to effective modeling of complex systems. Especially, the book covers the critical concepts of net system hierarchy formed with net folding and various methods for system analysis to give readers the tools they need to create and test effective models.

Free Download Coloured Petri Nets: Basic Concepts, Analysis Methods and Practical Use By Kurt Jensen
1996 | 241 Pages | ISBN: 3642082432 | PDF | 8 MB
This book presents a coherent description of the theoretical and practical aspectsof Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN). It shows how CP-nets have been developed- from being a promising theoretical model to being a full-fledged languagefor the design, specification, simulation, validation and implementation oflarge software systems (and other systems in which human beings and/or computerscommunicate by means of some more or less formal rules). The bookcontains the formal definition of CP-nets and the mathematical theory behindtheir analysis methods. However, it has been the intention to write the book insuch a way that it also becomes attractive to readers who are more interested inapplications than the underlying mathematics. This means that a large part of thebook is written in a style which is closer to an engineering textbook (or a users’manual) than it is to a typical textbook in theoretical computer science. The bookconsists of three separate volumes.The first volume defines the net model (i.e., hierarchical CP-nets) and thebasic concepts (e.g., the different behavioural properties such as deadlocks, fairnessand home markings). It gives a detailed presentation of many smaIl examplesand a brief overview of some industrial applications. It introduces the formalanalysis methods. FinaIly, it contains a description of a set of CPN toolswhich support the practical use of CP-nets. Most of the material in this volume isapplication oriented. The purpose of the volume is to teach the reader how toconstruct CPN models and how to analyse these by means of simulation.The second volume contains a detailed presentation of the theory behind theformal analysis methods – in particular occurrence graphs with equivalenceclasses and place/transition invariants. It also describes how these analysis methodsare supported by computer tools. Parts of this volume are rather theoreticalwhile other parts are application oriented. The purpose of the volume is to teachthe reader how to use the formal analysis methods. This will not necessarily requirea deep understanding of the underlying mathematical theory (although suchknowledge will of course be a help).The third volume contains a detailed description of a selection of industrialapplications. The purpose is to document the most important ideas and experiencesfrom the projects – in a way which is useful for readers who do not yethave personal experience with the construction and analysis of large CPN diagrams.Another purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of using CP-nets and theCPN tools for such projects.

Although the dynamic properties of such systems may be very complex, they may sometimes be connected to the static structure of a Petri net. Many properties are decidable, but their complexity may be huge. It is often opportune to restrict oneself to classes of systems, to partial algorithms, and to similar but simpler properties. Instead of analysing a given system, it is also possible to search for a system satisfying some desired properties by construction.

Free Download Hardware Design and Petri Nets by Alex Yakovlev, Luis Gomes, Luciano Lavagno
English | PDF | 2000 | 335 Pages | ISBN : 0792377915 | 30 MB
Hardware Design and Petri Nets presents a summary of the state of the art in the applications of Petri nets to designing digital systems and circuits. The area of hardware design has traditionally been a fertile field for research in concurrency and Petri nets. Many new ideas about modelling and analysis of concurrent systems, and Petri nets in particular, originated in theory of asynchronous digital circuits. Similarly, the theory and practice of digital circuit design have always recognized Petri nets as a powerful and easy-to-understand modelling tool..

This book provides essential information on Petri net theory and Petri net-based model checking methods. As for the Petri net theory, it involves the interleaving semantics and concurrency semantics of elementary net systems, some important net structures (e.g., invariant, repetitive vector, siphon, and trap), some classical net subclasses with special structures (e.g., state machine, marked graph, free-choice net,asymmetric-choice net, normal net, and weakly persistent net), and some basic properties (e.g., reachability, liveness, deadlock, and soundness). It also involves four high-level Petri nets: knowledge-oriented Petri nets, Petri nets with insecure places, time Petri nets, and plain time Petri nets with priorities, focusing on different fields of application. As for the model checking methods, this book introduces readers to computation tree logic (CTL), computation tree logic of knowledge (CTLK), and timed computation tree logic (TCTL), as well as Petri net-based methods for checking them. The basic principle of the reduced ordered binary decision diagram (ROBDD) is employed to compress the state space used in these model checking procedures. The book also covers time-soundness for time Petri nets and secure bisimulation for Petri nets with insecure places, both of which are based on the bisimulation theory. As such, it offers an introduction to basic information on bisimulation theory.
