Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
We show that the class of Petri nets is less expressive with respect to bisimulation equivalence than the class of PA processes extended with a finite state control unit. Key word...
—The paper discusses how Petri nets may be used for the qualitative modeling of physical systems. The qualitative state of a system is represented by the marking of the net. The ...
Statecharts and Petri nets are two popular visual formalisms for modelling complex systems that exhibit concurrency. Both formalisms are supported by various design tools. To enabl...
In this paper, we introduce a new technique for modeling and solving the dynamic power management (DPM) problem for systems with complex behavioral characteristics such as concurr...
