Agent-based Colored Petri Net Modeling of Grid Information Flows : Modeling of Wide Area Protection System

Modeling Scalable Grid Information Services with Colored Petri Nets

Information services play a crucial role in grid computing environments in that the state information of a grid system can be used to facilitate the discovery of resources and services available to meet user requirements and help tune the performance of the grid. This paper models PIndex, which is a grouped peer-to-peer network with Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) for scalable grid information servic...

Modeling Grid Workflows with Colored Petri Nets⋆

Grid computing refers to the deployment of a widely distributed architecture for the execution of computationally challenging tasks. The grid provides a set of distributed resources which can be used for “computing on demand” or for constructing a “virtual supercomputer”. Recently, several researchers started to look at the relation between workflow management and grid computing. The flow of wo...

Modeling Agent Conversations with Colored Petri Nets

Conversations are a useful means of structuring communicative interactions among agents. The value of a conversationbased approach is largely determined by the conversational model it uses. Finite State Machines, used heavily to date for this purpose, are not su cient for complex agent interactions requiring a notion of concurrency. We propose the use of Colored Petri Nets as a model underlying...

Colored Petri net modeling and simulation of signal transduction pathways.

Presented herein is a methodology for quantitatively analyzing the complex signaling network by resorting to colored Petri nets (CPN). The mathematical as well as Petri net models for two basic reaction types were established, followed by the extension to a large signal transduction system stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) in an application study. The CPN models based on the Petri net...
