In this paper, timed Petri nets are used to model and control hybrid systems. Petri nets are used instead of finite automata primarily because of the advantages they offer in de...

Petri nets where, to my knowledge, the first theoretical model augmented with time constraints [Mer74], and the support of the first reachability algorithm of timed system [BM83, ...
: In this paper a proposal for the Biology Petri Net Markup Language (BioPNML) is presented. The concepts and terminology of the interchange format as well as its syntax that is ba...
Rough Petri nets model (RPNM) for knowledge representation, rule generation, and reasoning is presented in this paper. An algorithm for verifying the consistency of a rough knowle...
The number of states in discrete event systems can increase exponentially with respect to the size of the system. A way to face this state explosion problem consists of relaxing t...
Component-based software engineering needs to be backed by thorough formal concepts and modeling techniques. This paper combines two concepts introduced independently by the two a...
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 c...
In this paper we propose DFL -- a formal, graphical workflow language for dataflows, i.e., workflows where large amounts of complex data are manipulated, and the structure of the ...

In this paper, we discuss how to model systems that communicate through and are coordinated by mobile channels. Mainly, we focus on modeling the exogenous coordination behavior im...

: This document gives an algebraic and two polygraphic translations of Petri nets, all three providing an easier way to describe reductions and to identify some of them. The first ...
