Timed Petri Nets and Timed Automata: On the Discriminating Power of Zeno Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Timed Petri nets and timed automata are two standard models for the analysis of real-time systems. In this paper, we prove that they are incomparable for the timed language equivalence. Thus we propose an extension of timed Petri nets with read-arcs (RA-TdPN), whose coverability problem is decidable. We also show that this model unifies timed Petri nets and timed automata. Then, we establish numerous expressiveness results and prove that Zeno behaviours discriminate between several sub-classes of RA-TdPNs. This has surprising consequences on timed automata, e.g. on the power of non-deterministic clock resets.

Using Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
متن کاملAn Efficient Translation of Timed-Arc Petri Nets to Networks of Timed Automata
Bounded timed-arc Petri nets with read-arcs were recently proven equivalent to networks of timed automata, though the Petri net model cannot express urgent behaviour and the described mutual translations are rather inefficient. We propose an extension of timed-arc Petri nets with invariants to enforce urgency and with transport arcs to generalise the read-arcs. We also describe a novel translat...
متن کاملTimed-Arc Petri Nets vs. Networks of Timed Automata
We establish mutual translations between the classes of 1safe timed-arc Petri nets (and its extension with testing arcs) and networks of timed automata (and its subclass where every clock used in the guard has to be reset). The presented translations are very tight (up to isomorphism of labelled transition systems with time). This provides a convenient characterization from the theoretical poin...
متن کاملThe expressive power of time Petri nets
We investigate expressiveness questions for time Petri nets (TPNs) and some their most usefull extensions. We first introduce generalised time Petri nets (GTPNs) as an abstract model that encompasses variants of TPNs such as self modifications and read, reset and inhibitor arcs. We give a syntactical translation from bounded GTPNs to timed automata (TA) that generates isomorphic transition syst...
