Petri nets for modelling and analysing trophic networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider trophic networks, a kind of networks used in ecology to represent feeding interactions (what-eats-what) in an ecosystem. We observe that trophic networks can be naturally modelled as Petri nets and this suggests the possibility of exploiting Petri nets for the analysis and simulation of trophic networks. Some preliminary steps in this directions and some ideas for future development are presented.

متن کاملFeature Petri Nets
In software product line (SPL) engineering, formal modelling and verification are critical for managing the inherent complexity of systems with a high degree of variability. The number of products in an SPL can be exponential in the number of features. Therefore, the challenge when modelling SPL lies in analysing and verifying large, complex models efficiently, in order to ensure that all produ...

One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
متن کاملA Unifying Framework for Modelling and Analysing Biochemical Pathways Using Petri Nets
We give a description of a Petri net-based framework for modelling and analysing biochemical pathways, which unifies the qualitative, stochastic and continuous paradigms. Each perspective adds its contribution to the understanding of the system, thus the three approaches do not compete, but complement each other. We illustrate our approach by applying it to an extended model of the three stage ...
