Scope of Workshop

The  workshop  provides  a  forum  for  the  presentation of original
contributions in the area of models based on Petri-Nets and including
time  specifications and tools for performance evaluation and systems
design. During  the  workshop, facilities  will  be  provided for the
exhibition  of computer-aided  Petri  net  tools. The  day before the
workshop, Tuesday 19 October, a day  of  tutorials will be presented.
The language of the workshop is English.

Topics

-New developments in timed and stochastic Petri nets, including high-
level stochastic nets
-Analysis methods for timed and stochastic nets
-Advances  in  incorporating  time  into  nets, while  retaining  the
results of the General Net theory
-Relationships  with other  formal systems where timed extensions are
being developed ( process algebras, formal description techniques...)
-Application  of nets  to the  design  and  performance evaluation of
systems  including  computing,  communications  and time constraints:
multimedia,  office  automation,  flexible  manufacturing  systems,
communications networks, real time systems, operations research...
-Computer aids for the analysis of Petri net models.
-Educational  issues, including  the role  of Petri  nets in teaching
concurrency
