We investigate the decidability of termination, reachability, coverability and deadlock-freeness of Petri nets endowed with a hierarchy on places, and with inhibitor arcs, reset arcs and transfer arcs that respect this hierarchy. We also…
We investigate the problem of construction of small-size universal Petri nets with inhibitor arcs. We consider four descriptional complexity parameters: the number of places, transitions, inhibitor arcs, and the maximal degree of a…
In a live and bounded Free Choice Petri net, pick a non-conflicting transition. Then there exists a unique reachable marking in which no transition is enabled except the selected one. For a routed live and bounded Free Choice net, this…
Petri Nets (PN) are a central, theoretically sound model for concurrent or distributed systems but, at least in their classical definition, not expressive enough to represent dynamic reconfiguration capabilities. On the other side,…
In time Petri nets (TPNs), time and control are tightly connected: time measurement for a transition starts only when all resources needed to fire it are available. Further, upper bounds on duration of enabledness can force transitions to…
Hierarchical Petri nets allow a more abstract view and reconfigurable Petri nets model dynamic structural adaptation. In this contribution we present the combination of reconfigurable Petri nets and hierarchical Petri nets yielding…
Linear constraint transformation is an essential step to solve the forbidden state problem in Petri nets that contain uncontrollable transitions. This work studies the equivalent transformation from a legal-marking set to its…
Place/Transition Petri nets with inhibitor arcs (PTI nets for short), which are a well-known Turing-complete, distributed model of computation, are equipped with a decidable, behavioral equivalence, called pti-place bisimilarity, that…
We define an extension of time Petri nets such that the time at which a transition can fire, also called its firing date, may be dynamically updated. Our extension provides two mechanisms for updating the timing constraints of a net. First,…
We consider priced timed Petri nets, i.e., unbounded Petri nets where each token carries a real-valued clock. Transition arcs are labeled with time intervals, which specify constraints on the ages of tokens. Furthermore, our cost model…
Low-level embedded systems are used to control cyber-phyiscal systems in industrial and autonomous applications. They need to meet hard real-time requirements as unanticipated controller delays on moving machines can have devastating…
Non-interference, in transitive or intransitive form, is defined here over unbounded (Place/Transition) Petri nets. The definitions are adaptations of similar, well-accepted definitions introduced earlier in the framework of labelled…
We consider timed Petri nets, i.e., unbounded Petri nets where each token carries a real-valued clock. Transition arcs are labeled with time intervals, which specify constraints on the ages of tokens. Our cost model assigns token storage…
Petri nets and their variants are often considered through their interleaved semantics, i.e. considering executions where, at each step, a single transition fires. This is clearly a miss, as Petri nets are a true concurrency model. This…
Petri nets are a formalism for modelling and reasoning about the behaviour of distributed systems. Recently, a reversible approach to Petri nets, Reversing Petri Nets (RPN), has been proposed, allowing transitions to be reversed…
This paper addresses the problem of forbidden states of non safe Petri Net (PN) modelling discrete events systems. To prevent the forbidden states, it is possible to use conditions or predicates associated with transitions. Generally, there…

Our objective is to design a controlled system with a simple method for discrete event systems based on Petri nets. It is possible to construct the Petri net model of a system and the specification separately. By synchronous composition of…
This paper focuses on a fundamental problem on information security of bounded labeled Petri nets: non-interference analysis. As in hierarchical control, we assume that a system is observed by users at different levels, namely high-level…
We study discrete time linear constrained switching systems with additive disturbances, in which the switching may be on the system matrices, the disturbance sets, the state constraint sets or a combination of the above. In our general…
