A Compendium on the Core Model, Analysis, and Synthesis
Focusing on the modeling of concurrent and distributed systems, this book explores the use of Petri nets, which facilitate the communication between active components through the production and absorption of different resources. It provides insights into the structure and dynamics of these systems, making it a valuable resource for understanding complex interactions in various applications.
36th International Conference, PETRI NETS 2015, Brussels, Belgium, June 21-26, 2015, Proceedings
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 36th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency, PETRI NETS 2015, held in Brussels, Belgium, in June 2015. The 12 regular papers and 2 tool papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. In addition the book contains 3 invited talks in full paper length. The papers cover various topics in the field of Petri nets and related models of concurrency.
Concurrent systems play a crucial role in modern computing, impacting various applications like control systems and multimedia. The book explores two prominent formalisms for analyzing these complex systems: Petri nets and process algebras. Process algebras offer algebraic tools for designing and reasoning about concurrent systems, while Petri nets provide a graphical approach for verification and understanding system behavior, particularly concerning causality and concurrency. Together, they address the challenges posed by the increasing complexity of concurrent computing environments.
