Quickly prototyping petri nets tools with SNAKES
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the toolkit snakes that is aimed at providing a flexible solution to the problem of quickly prototyping Petri nets tools. In particular, snakes is expected to have as few built-in limitations as possible with respect to the particular variant of Petri net to be used. The goal is to make snakes suitable for any kind of Petri net model, including new ones for which there exists no available tool. For this purpose, snakes is designed as a very general Petri net core library enriched with a set of extension modules to provide specialised features. On the one hand, the core library is versatile in that it defines a general Petri net structure where all the computational aspects are delegated to an interpreted programming language. On the other hand, the extension modules provide with enough flexibility to allow to redefine easily any part of the base Petri net model. snakes is released under the gnu lgpl, it can be downloaded at 〈http://www.univ-paris12.fr/lacl/pommereau/ soft/snakes〉 with the api documentation and a tutorial.

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 ...

snakes is a general purpose Petri nets library, primarily for the Python programming language but portable to other ones. It defines a very general variant of Python-coloured Petri nets that can be created and manipulated through the library, as well as executed to explore state spaces. Thanks to a variety of plugins, snakes can handle extensions of Petri nets, in particular algebras of Petri n...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets
In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...
