Dense-Timed Petri Nets: Checking Zenoness, Token liveness and Boundedness
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider Dense-Timed Petri Nets (TPN), an extension of Petri nets in which each token is equipped with a real-valued clock and where the semantics is lazy (i.e., enabled transitions need not fire; time can pass and disable transitions). We consider the following verification problems for TPNs. (i) Zenoness: whether there exists a zeno-computation from a given marking, i.e., an infinite computation which takes only a finite amount of time. We show decidability of zenoness for TPNs, thus solving an open problem from [dFERA00]. Furthermore, the related question if there exist arbitrarily fast computations from a given marking is also decidable. On the other hand, universal zenoness, i.e., the question if all infinite computations from a given marking are zeno, is undecidable. (ii) Token liveness: whether a token is alive in a marking, i.e., whether there is a computation from the marking which eventually consumes the token. We show decidability of the problem by reducing it to the coverability problem, which is decidable for TPNs. (iii) Boundedness: whether the size of the reachable markings is bounded. We consider two versions of the problem; namely semantic boundedness where only live tokens are taken into consideration in the markings, and syntactic boundedness where also dead tokens are considered. We show undecidability of semantic boundedness, while we prove that syntactic boundedness is decidable through an extension of the Karp-Miller algorithm. 2000 ACM Subject Classification: F1.1, F3.1, F4.1, F4.3.

On Compositionality of Boundedness and Liveness for Nested Petri Nets
Nested Petri nets (NP-nets) are Petri nets with net tokens. The liveness and boundedness problems are undecidable for two-level NP-nets [10]. Boundedness is EXPSPACE and liveness is EXPSPACE or worse for plain Petri nets [4]. However, for some restricted classes, e.g. for plain free-choice Petri nets, problems become more amenable to analysis. There is the polynomial time algorithm to check if ...
متن کاملTiming-dependent boundedness and liveness in continuous Petri nets
The very classical structural boundedness and repetitiveness properties for discrete and untimed models are reconsidered for timed continuous Petri nets (TCPN), under infinite server semantics. The timing is here involved in the analysis, by taking advantage of its matricial characterization and properties analogous to conservativeness and consistency are defined. It is shown that such properti...
متن کاملCompositional analysis for regularity, liveness and boundedness
By the linear algebraic representation of Petri nets, Desel introduced regularity property (Desel, 1992). Regularity implies a sufficient condition for a Petri net to be live and bounded. All the conditions checking the regularity of a Petri net are decidable in polynomial time in the size of a net (Desel and Esparza, 1995). This paper proves that regularity, liveness and boundedness can be pre...

Preface The aim of the workflow management is to help business goals to be achieved with high efficiency by means of sequencing work activities and invoking appropriate resources associated to these activities. Therefore, workflow management is both a key technology in supporting business processes and an effective means to realize full or partial automation of a business process. Despite many ...
