50 years after the PhD thesis of Carl Adam Petri: A perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Half a century of a work defining a landmark in Discrete Event Dynamic Systems theory is worth underlining. This invited contribution, of festive character, albeit I fear inadequate, is a modest tribute to the memory and work of Carl Adam Petri. It was considered convenient to remember some of the personal contacts we had with him. The price is a certainly biased view.

Half a century after Carl Adam Petri's Ph.D. thesis: A perspective on the field
It is certainly worth remarking on half a century of a work defining a landmark in Discrete Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS) theory. This invited contribution aims to combine some historical facts with elements of a conceptual view on concurrent DEDS, giving pointers about the development of the field. Simplifying the historical trajectory, it can be said that the seed sown by Carl Adam Petri in 19...
متن کاملCarl Adam Petri and "Petri Nets"
Scientific tradition frequently names a fundamental notion, insight, or theory after its explorer or eminent representative. Typical examples include "Abelian group", "Planck's constant" or "Keynesian economic theory". Informatics occasionally names algorithms after their inventor, such as Dijkstra, Lamport or Floyd. Entire subfields of informatics are named after persons only rarely. One of th...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Petri Nets
1 INTRODUCTION The point of view taken in this instroduction to discrete event systems (DES) is that they consist of interacting nodes. Each node can be a system in itself and may be thought of as a component of the DES. These components can operate concurrently, i.e., a component can be performing one of its functions at the same time that another component is carrying out one of its respectiv...
متن کاملGénèse de la théorie des Réseaux de Petri 1962-1973
La théorie des réseaux de Petri est née de la thèse de Carl Adam Petri [PE 62]. Mais, bien d’autres chercheurs ont contribué à ce qui est devenu “les réseaux de Petri”. Certains sont explicitement partis des travaux de Carl Adam Petri, les ont légèrement modifiés et ont développé les notions que ce dernier avait introduites. D’autres ont menés indépendamment des travaux sur la représentation et...
متن کاملTimed Petri Nets
In the early 60’s a young researcher in Darmstadt looked for a good representation for communicating systems processes that were mathematically sound and had, at the same time, a visual intuitive flavor. This event marked the beginning of a schematic approach that become very important to the modeling of distributed systems in several and distinct areas of knowledge, from Engineering to biologi...
