Petri Nets and higher order versions like Predicate Transition Nets (Pr/T-Nets) are very suitable for modeling event-oriented discrete and even parallel systems. Obviously, the next step is to implement the system code out of this model specification. Therefore, very efficient code has to be generated and a highly overhead free run-time environment is required. We propose a very tight integration of the Pr/T-Net execution into a customizable operating system that is optimal adapted for this purpose. Our approach is a very promising one towards direct and highly efficient implementations of Pr/T-Nets.
