These Transactions publish archival papers in the broad area of Petri nets and other models of concurrency, ranging from theoretical work to tool support and industrial applications. ToPNoC issues are published as LNCS volumes, and hence are widely distributed and indexed. This Journal has its own Editorial Board which selects papers based on a rigorous two-stage refereeing process. ToPNoC contains: - Revised versions of a selection of the best papers from workshops and tutorials at the annual Petri net conferences - Special sections/issues within particular subareas (similar to those published in the Advances in Petri Nets series) - Other papers invited for publication in ToPNoC - Papers submitted directly to ToPNoC by their authors The seventh volume of ToPNoC contains revised material from the 5th International Summer School “Advanced Course on Petri Nets”, held in September 2010 in Rostock, Germany. The nine papers cover a diverse range of topics including modeling, verification, partial order semantics, and synthesis of Petri nets. In compliance with their origin as course material, the papers are written in survey or tutorial style and give a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in their respective areas.]]>

The development of CP-nets has been driven by the desire to develop a modelling language — at the same time theoretically well-founded and versatile enough to be used in practice for systems of the size and complexity that we find in typical industrial projects. To achieve this, we have combined the strength of Petri nets with the strength of programming languages. Petri nets provide the primitives for the description of the synchronisation of concurrent processes, while programming languages provide the primitives for the definition of data types and the manipulation of their data values.
The paper does not assume that the reader has any prior knowledge of Petri nets — although such knowledge will, of course, be a help.

<![CDATA[Coloured Petri Nets]]> https://cs.au.dk/research/modelling-and-validation-of-distributed-systems/publications?tx_pure_pure5%5Baction%5D=single&tx_pure_pure5%5Bcontroller%5D=Publications&tx_pure_pure5%5Bid%5D=809b0920-6a56-11df-8c1a-000ea68e967b&tx_pure_pure5%5BshowType%5D=pub&cHash=f43bd612a6785260bb650b7e87e20bd3 Jensen, K.
First CP-nets are introduced by means of a small example and a formal definition of their structure and behaviour is presented. Then we describe how to extend CP-nets by a set of hierarchy constructs (allowing a hierarchical CP-net to consist of many different subnets, which are related to each other in a formal way). Next we describe how to analyse CP-nets, how to support them by various computer tools, and we also describe some typical applications. Finally, a number of future extensions are discussed (of the net model and the supporting software).
The non-hierarchical CP-nets in the present paper are analogous to the CP-nets defined in [35] and the High-level Petri Nets defined in [33]. In all three papers CP-nets (and HL-nets) have two different representations: The expression representation uses are expressions and guards, while the function representation uses linear functions between multi-sets. Moreover, there are formal translations between the two representations (in both directions). In [33] and [35] we used the expression representation to describe systems, while we used the function representation for all the different kinds of analysis. It has, however, turned out that it only is necessary to turn to functions when we deal with invariant analysis, and this means that we now use the expression representation for all purposes — except for the calculation of invariants. This change is important for the practical use of CP-nets — because it means that the function representation and the translations (which are a bit mathematically complex) no longer are parts of the basic definition of CP-nets. Instead they are parts of the invariant method (which anyway demands considerable mathematical skills).
The development of CP-nets has been supported by several grants from the Danish National Science Research Council.

The paper focuses on the practical use of Coloured Petri Nets. It introduces the basic ideas behind the CPN language, and it illustrates how CPN models can be analysed by means of simulation, state spaces and condensed state spaces. The paper also describes how CP-nets can be extended with a time concept. In this way it is also possible to use CP-nets for performance evaluation, i.e., to evaluate the speed by which a system operates. Finally, we describe a set of computer tools that support the use of CP-nets. This tool set is used by more than three hundred organisations in forty different countries — including seventy-five commercial companies. It is available free of charge, also for commercial use.
The present paper does not contain any formal definitions. Instead all ideas and concepts are introduced by means of a number of small examples. Readers who want to consult the formal definitions can find these in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. The latter is a 3-volume text book providing a detailed description of CP-nets and their use. Volume I introduces the basic concepts and definitions. Volume 2 describes the different analysis methods. Volume 3 describes experiences from nineteen projects in which CP-nets and the CPN tools have been put to practical use. Most of the projects have been carried out in an industrial setting.

The workshop is organised by the CPN group at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark.

Coloured Petri Nets and the CPN Tools are now licensed to more than 7,200 users in 138 countries. The aim of the workshop is to bring together some of the users and in this way provide a forum for those who are interested in the practical use of Coloured Petri nets and their tools. The submitted papers were evaluated by a programme committee with the following members:

Wil van der Aalst, Netherlands

João Paulo Barros, Protugal

Jörg Desel, Germany

Joao M. Fernandes, Portugal

Jorge de Figueiredo, Brazil

Monika Heiner, Germany

Kurt Jensen, Denmark (chair)

Ekkart Kindler, Denmark

Charles Lakos, Australia

Johan Lilius, Finland

Daniel Moldt, Gremany

Laure Petrucci, France

Rüdiger Vlak, Germany

Lee Wagenhals, USA

Karsten Wolf, Germany

Jianli Xu, Finland

The programme committee has accepted 10 papers for presentation. Most of these deal with different projects in which Coloured Petri Nets and their tools have been put to practical use -- often in an industrial setting. The remaining papers deal with different extensions of tools and methodology.

The papers from the first eight CPN Workshops can be found via web pages: http://www.daimi.au.dk/CPnets/. After an additional round of reviewing and revision, some of the papers have been published in four special sections in the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT). For more information see: www.sttt.cs.uni-dortmund.de/. After an additional round of reviewing and revision, some of the papers from this years workshop will be published in Transactions of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ToPNoC) which is new journal subline of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

L. This report is identical to an earlier version of May 1978 except that Chapter 5 has been revised. A new paper: "A Petri Net Definition of a System Description Language", DAIMI, April 1979, 20 pages, extends the Petri net model to include a data state representing the program variables.

Delta is a language designed for general system description. It is partly build upon Simula, but is more than a programming language, since it contains several features, which cannot be implemented on a computer system. E.g. a continuous time concept, concurrency between an unbounded number of components and the possibility of using predicates to specify state changes.

In this paper a formal semantics for Delta is defined and analysed using Petri nets.

Petri nets was chosen because the ideas behind Petri nets and Delta concide on several points.

A number of proposals for changes in Delta, which resulted from this work, are also reported here, whereas a number of different extensions to the Petri net formalism may be found in (DAIMI TR-5).

The presentation of the projects is based upon material provided by the persons who have accomplished the individual projects. At the beginning of each chapter, we list their names and we say where the original material has been published. The original material often contains more elaborate information, e.g., about details of the modelled system and related work.

I have edited the material provided by the original authors. I have modified some of the CP-nets, e.g., to improve the layout and use more mnemonic names. In some cases, I have also changed a few net components, e.g., merged two transitions or introduced a Standard ML function for operations that are used in many arc expressions. These modifications make the CP-nets more appropriate as study material, but they do not change the essential behaviour of the CPN models.

The terminology in the original material has been modified to fit the terminology introduced in the first two volumes of this book. Redundancies with the material of the other volumes have been removed, e.g., the explanation of what a hierarchical CP-net is and how the CPN tools work. The typography has been modified to match that used for the other parts of the book. More detailed explanations have been added, e.g., of some of the CPN models and some of the analysis results. This has been possible since, Vols. 1 and 2 have given the readers a much more thorough knowledge of CP-nets than readers of ordinary research papers. Finally, it is discussed how some of the problems from the projects can be overcome or circumvented. Many of these problems have already been removed, e.g., by improvements of the CPN tools. Other problems can be avoided by a careful choice of modelling and analysis techniques.

The material has been modified in cooperation with the original authors and the final result has been approved by them. The conclusions and findings of the original papers have not been modified.

The CPN tools for occurrence graphs and performance analysis are rather new compared to the CPN editor and simulator. Nevertheless, they have been successfully used by several of the industrial projects reported in this volume. For place and transition invariants there is not yet adequate tool support, and hence they are much more infrequently used in practical projects.

This paper deals with state spaces. A state space is a directed graph with a node for each reachable state and an arc for each possible state change. We describe how symmetries of the modelled system can be exploited to obtain much more succinct state space analysis. The symmetries induce equivalence classes of states and equivalence classes of state changes. It is then possible to construct a condensed state space where each node represents an equivalence class of states while each arc represents an equivalence class of state changes. Such a condensed state space is often much smaller than the full state space and it is also much faster to construct. Nevertheless, it is possible to use the condensed state space to verify the same kind of behavioural properties as the full state space. Hence, we do not lose analytic power.

We define state spaces and condensed state spaces for a language called Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets). This language is in widespread use for the modelling and analysis of concurrent systems. However, our techniques are general and they can be used for many other kinds of labelled transition systems. The paper does not assume that the reader is familiar with CP-nets (or Petri nets in general) - although such knowledge will, of course, be a help. The first four sections of the paper introduce the basic concepts of CP-nets. The next three sections deal with state spaces, condensed state spaces and computer tools for state space analysis. Finally, there is a short conclusion.

M. Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) is a graphical language for modelling and validating concurrent and distributed systems, and other systems in which concurrency plays a major role. The development of such systems is particularly challenging because of inherent intricacies like possible nondeterminism and the immense number of possible execution sequences.

In this textbook, Jensen and Kristensen introduce the constructs of the CPN modelling language and present the related analysis methods in detail. They also provide a comprehensive road map for the practical use of CPN by showcasing selected industrial case studies that illustrate the practical use of CPN modelling and validation for design, specification, simulation, verification and implementation in various application domains.

Their presentation primarily aims at readers interested in the practical use of CPN. Thus all concepts and constructs are first informally introduced through examples and then followed by formal definitions (which may be skipped). The book is ideally suitable for a one-semester course at an advanced undergraduate or graduate level, and through its strong application examples can also serve for self-study. It features an accompanying website that offers additional material such as slides, exercises and project proposals.
