Configuration structures, event structures and Petri nets

چکیده
In this paper the correspondence between safe Petri nets and event structures, due to Nielsen, Plotkin and Winskel, is extended to arbitrary nets without self-loops, under the collective token interpretation. To this end we propose a more general form of event structure, matching the expressive power of such nets. These new event structures and nets are connected by relating both notions with configuration structures, which can be regarded as representations of either event structures or nets that capture their behaviour in terms of action occurrences and the causal relationships between them, but abstract from any auxiliary structure. A configuration structure can also be considered logically, as a class of propositional models, or—equivalently— as a propositional theory in disjunctive normal from. Converting this theory to conjunctive normal form is the key idea in the translation of such a structure into a net.

متن کاملAn Event Structure Semantics for General Petri Nets
In this paper we address the following question: What type of event structures are suitable for representing the behaviour of general Petri nets? As a partial answer to this question we de ne a new class of event structures called local event structures and identify a subclass called UL-event structures. We propose that UL-event structures are appropriate for capturing the behaviour of general ...
متن کاملUsing 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 کاملEvent Structures for Petri nets with Persistence
Event structures are a widely accepted model of concurrency. In a seminal paper by Nielsen, Plotkin and Winskel, they are used to establish a bridge between the theory of domains and the approach to concurrency proposed by Petri. A basic role is played by an unfolding construction that maps (safe) Petri nets into a subclass of event structures where each event has a uniquely determined set of c...
متن کاملModeling production configuration using nested colored object-oriented Petri-nets with changeable structures
Configuring production processes based on process platforms has been well recognized as an effective means for companies to provide product variety while maintainingmass production efficiency. The production processes of product families involve diverse variations in manufacturing and assembly processes resulted from a large variety of component parts and assemblies. This paper develops a multi...
