This article presents the results of the Model Checking Contest held at Petri Nets 2012 in Hambourg. This contest aimed at a fair and experimental evaluation of the performances of model checking techniques applied to Petri nets. This is…
In this paper bounded model checking of asynchronous concurrent systems is introduced as a promising application area for answer set programming. As the model of asynchronous systems a generalisation of communicating automata, 1-safe Petri…
Although decidable, the marking reachability problem for Petri nets is well-known to be intractable in general, and a non-elementary lower bound has been recently uncovered. In order to alleviate this difficulty, various structural and…
Solutions proposed for the longstanding problem of automatic decomposition of Petri nets into concurrent processes, as well as methods developed in Grenoble for the automatic conversion of safe Petri nets to NUPNs (Nested-Unit Petri Nets),…
MCC is a tool designed for a very specific task: to transform the models of High-Level Petri nets, given in the PNML syntax, into equivalent Place/Transition nets. The name of the tool derives from the annual Model-Checking Contest, a…
Developing algorithms for distributed systems is an error-prone task. Formal models like Petri nets with transits and Petri games can prevent errors when developing such algorithms. Petri nets with transits allow us to follow the data flow…
Real-world processes operate on objects that are inter-dependent. To accurately reflect the nature of such processes, object-centric process mining techniques are needed, notably conformance checking. However, while the object-centric…
The need for high-level autonomy and robustness of autonomous systems for missions in dynamic and remote environment has pushed developers to come up with new software architectures. A common architecture style is to summarize the…
The possibility of errors in human-engineered formal verification software, such as model checkers, poses a serious threat to the purpose of these tools. An established approach to mitigate this problem are certificates -- lightweight,…
Petri nets are a classical model of concurrency widely used and studied in formal verification with many applications in modeling and analyzing hardware and software, data bases, and reactive systems. The reachability problem is central…

We propose a reachability verification technique that combines the Petri net state equation (a linear algebraic overapproximation of the set of reachable states) with the concept of counterexample guided abstraction refinement. In essence,…
Program verification on concurrent programs is a big challenge due to general undecidable results. Petri nets and its extensions are used in most works. However, existing verifiers based on Petri nets are difficult to be complete and…
We investigate Petri nets with data, an extension of plain Petri nets where tokens carry values from an infinite data domain, and executability of transitions is conditioned by equalities between data values. We provide a decision procedure…
Stochastic Petri nets are commonly used for modeling distributed systems in order to study their performance and dependability. This paper proposes a realization of stochastic Petri nets in SystemC for modeling large embedded control…

Detectability describes the property of an system whose current and the subsequent states can be uniquely determined after a finite number of observations. In this paper, we relax detectability to C-detectability that only requires a given…
This paper addresses the problem of infinite-step opacity and K-step opacity of discrete event systems modeled with Petri nets. A Petri net system is said to be infinite-step/K-step opaque if all its secret states remains opaque to an…
Colored Petri nets offer a compact and user friendly representation of the traditional P/T nets and colored nets with finite color ranges can be unfolded into the underlying P/T nets, however, at the expense of an exponential explosion in…
