The theory of free-choice Petri nets is an established field, initiated in the 1970s by Commoner and Hack at MIT. We revisit well-formed free-choice nets (those admitting markings that are both live and bounded) and provide a new…

Finite 1-safe Petri nets, also called \emph{net systems}, are natural models of asynchronous concurrency. The event structure of a net system describes all its possible executions and their concurrent nature: two events may be causally…

Van der Aalst's theorem is an important result for the analysis and synthesis of process models. The paper proves the theorem by exhausting perpetual free-choice Petri nets by CP-subnets. The resulting T-systems are investigated by…

A marked Petri net is lucent if there are no two different reachable markings enabling the same set of transitions, i.e., states are fully characterized by the transitions they enable. Characterizing the class of systems that are lucent is…

A marked Petri net is lucent if there are no two different reachable markings enabling the same set of transitions, i.e., states are fully characterized by the transitions they enable. This paper explores the class of marked Petri nets that…

Homology groups of labelled asynchronous transition systems and Petri nets are introduced. Examples of computing the homology groups are given. It is proved that if labelled asynchronous transition systems are bisimulation equivalent, then…

This paper considers the liveness enforcement problem in a class of Petri nets (PNs) modeling distributed systems called Synchronized Sequential Processes (SSP). This class of PNs is defined as a set of mono-marked state machines…

Petri nets are a popular formalism for modeling and analyzing distributed systems. Tokens in Petri net models can represent the control flow state or resources produced/consumed by transition firings. We define a resource as a part (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…

The textbook proofs of Commoner's theorem characterizing liveness in free-choice Petri nets are given in contexts of technical notions and claims that make the proofs look a bit long. The aim of this note is to give a concise self-contained…

A Petri net is choice-free if any place has at most one transition in its postset (consuming its tokens) and it is (extended) free-choice (EFC) if the postsets of any two places are either equal or disjoint. Asymmetric choice (AC) extends…

Synchronizing sequences have been proposed in the late 60's to solve testing problems on systems modeled by finite state machines. Such sequences lead a system, seen as a black box, from an unknown current state to a known final one. This…

Transition systems (TS) and Petri nets (PN) are important models of computation ubiquitous in formal methods for modeling systems. An important problem is how to extract from a given TS a PN whose reachability graph is equivalent (with a…

This paper describes a stand-alone, no-frills tool supporting the analysis of (labelled) place/transition Petri nets and the synthesis of labelled transition systems into Petri nets. It is implemented as a collection of independent,…

We use sequences of t-induced T-nets and p-induced P-nets to convert free-choice nets into T-nets and P-nets while preserving properties such as well-formedness, liveness, lucency, pc-safety, and perpetuality. The approach is general and…

Place/transition Petri nets are a standard model for a class of distributed systems whose reachability spaces might be infinite. One of well-studied topics is the verification of safety and liveness properties in this model; despite the…

Petri-nets are a simple formalism for modeling concurrent computation. Recently, they have emerged as a powerful tool for the modeling and analysis of biochemical reaction networks, bridging the gap between purely qualitative and…

Computing steady-state distributions in infinite-state stochastic systems is in general a very dificult task. Product-form Petri nets are those Petri nets for which the steady-state distribution can be described as a natural product…

In this talk we are concerned with the intrinsic similarities and differences between Petri nets on the one hand, and membrane systems and reaction systems on the other hand.

Persistence is a strong, global, behavioural property of a Petri net, meaning that no activity can disable a different activity. Persistent permutability is a weaker property, pertaining to individual interleavings of a Petri net and…
