Application And Theory Of Petri Nets 1993

This volume contains the proceedings of the 14th International Conference onApplication and Theory of Petri Nets. The aim of the Petri net conferences is to create a forum for discussing progress in the application and theory of Petri nets. Typically, the conferences have 150-200 participants, one third of whom come from industry, while the rest are from universities and research institutes. The volume includes three invited papers, "Modeling and enactment of workflow systems" (C.A. Ellis, G.J. Nutt), "Interleaving functional and performance structural analysis of net models" (M. Silva), and "FSPNs: fluid stochastic Petri nets" (K.S. Trivedi, V.G. Kulkarni), together with 26 full papers (selected from 102 submissions) and 6 project papers.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ICATPN 2005). The Petri net conferences serve to discuss yearly progress in the ?eld of Petri nets and related models of concurrency, and to foster new - vancesintheapplicationandtheoryofPetrinets.Theconferencestypicallyhave 100–150 participants, one third from industry and the others from universities and research institutions, and they always take place in the last week of June.

The 2005 conference was organized in Miami by the School of Computer Science at Florida International University (USA). We would like to express our deep thanks to the Organizing Committee, chaired by Xudong He, for the time and e?ort invested to the bene?t of the community in making the event successful. Several tutorials and workshops were organized within the conf- ence, covering introductory and advanced aspects related to Petri nets. Detailed information can be found at the conference URLwww.cs.fiu.edu/atpn2005. We received altogether 71 submissions from authors in 22 countries. Two submissions were not in the scope of the conference. The Program Comm- tee selected 23 contributions from the remaining 69 submissions, classi?ed into three categories: application papers (6 accepted, 25 submitted), theory papers (14 accepted, 40 submitted), and tool presentations (3 accepted, 4 submitted).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets, ICATPN'99, held in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, in June 1999. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 45 submissions. Also included are three invited presentations. The book presents state-of-the-art research results on all current aspects of Petri nets as well as advanced applications in a variety of areas.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets, held in Torino, Italy in June 1995 The 26 revised refereed papers presented were selected from 73 submissions from 22 countries; in addition there are abstracts or full papers of the three invited talks. All theoretical and applicational aspects are addressed by the contributors coming from industry and academia. This volume representatively documents the progress achieved in this application-oriented area of research and development since the predecessor conference held one year earlier.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on the Application and Theory of Petri Nets, ICATPN'97, held in Toulouse, France, in June 1997. The 22 revised full papers presented in the volume were selected from a total of 61 submissions; also included are three invited contributions. All relevant topics in the area are addressed. Besides a variety of Petri net classes, workflow management, telecommunication networking, constraint satisfaction, program semantics, concurrency, and temporal logic are among the topics addressed.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets, ICATPN 2004, held in Bologna, Italy in June 2004. The 19 revised full regular papers and 5 revised tool presentation papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. All current issues on research and development in the area of Petri nets are addressed, in particular concurrent systems design and analysis, modular systems development, formal specification, model validation, model checking, workflow management, flow charts, networking, formal methods in software engineering, etc.
