Although many
other models of concurrent and distributed systems have been de- veloped
since the introduction in 1964 Petri nets are still an essential model
for concurrent systems with respect to both the theory and the
applications. The main attraction of Petri nets is the way in which the
basic aspects of concurrent systems are captured both conceptually and
mathematically. The intuitively appealing graphical notation makes Petri
nets the model of choice in many applications. The natural way in which
Petri nets allow one to formally capture many of the basic notions and
issues of concurrent systems has contributed greatly to the development
of a rich theory of concurrent systems based on Petri nets.
This book brings together reputable researchers from all over the world
