Reactive systems perform their tasks through interaction with their users or with other systems (as parts of a bigger system). An essential requirement for modeling such systems is...
The design, implementation, and testing of virtual environments is complicated by the concurrency and realtime features of these systems. Therefore, the development of formal meth...

This paper deals with verification of flow control in concurrent programs. We use Ada language model as reference. After translation of Ada programs into Petri nets (named Ada net...
Petri nets are a graph-based formalism appropriate to model concurrentsystems such as asynchronouscircuits or network protocols. Symbolic techniques based on Binary Decision Diagr...
We present several interpretations of the behavior of P/T nets in terms of traces, event structures, and partial orders. Starting from results of Hoogers, Kleijn and Thiagarajan, w...
Abstract. The unfolding method, initially introduced for systems modelled by Petri nets, is applied to synchronous products of transition systems, a model introduced by Arnold [2]....
: This paper examines how object-oriented extensions to the Petri Net formalism provide flexible structuring primitives which can aid the modelling of network protocols. A key bene...
Model checking based on the causal partial order semantics of Petri nets is an approach widely applied to cope with the state space explosion problem. One of the ways to exploit su...
Conversations are a useful means of structuring communicative interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-based approach is largely determined by the conversational mod...

This paper describes the software package DSPNexpress 2000, a tool for the quantitative evaluation of systems specified in stochastic Petri nets, the Unified Modeling Language (UM...
