Abstract
Petri nets are a well-established model of concurrent systems, with a rich and strong, yet still growing, theory. Petri nets are intensively used in the design, verification, analysis, and prototy** of software systems, control systems and hardware systems. Different dialects or extensions of Petri nets serve in the different fields, e.g. safe Petri nets for hardware design, place/transition nets and high-level nets for software design, timed and stochastic Petri nets for performance evaluation.
