Coloured Petri Nets: Modelling and Validation of Concurrent Systems

Colored Petri Nets (CPN) is a graphical language for modeling 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 non determinism and the immense number of possible execution sequences.

In this textbook Jensen and Kristensen introduce the constructs of the CPN modeling 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 modeling 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. An accompanying website offers additional material such as slides, exercises and project proposals.
