Course objectives
An introduction to Petri nets; it covers the classical results (about boundedness, liveness, reachability, etc.) as well as the `modern' ones (undecidability of equivalence-checking and model-checking, etc.)
Syllabus
  • The theory of Petri nets provides a formal basis for modelling, design, simulation and analysis of complex distributed (concurrent, parallel) systems, which found its way to many applications in the area of computer software, communication protocols, flexible manufacturing systems, software engineering, etc.
  • Principles of modelling with Petri nets.
  • Classical results for place/transition nets. Boundedness, coverability, Karp-Miler tree, weak Petri computer; reachability and liveness.
  • Undecidability of equivalence-checking and model-checking with place/transition nets.
  • S-systems, T-systems. Reachability, liveness, S-invariants, T-invariants.
  • Free-choice Petri nets. Liveness, Commoner's theorem.
