because of high speed, efficiency, robustness and flexibility of multi-agent systems, in recent years there has been an increasing interest in the art of these systems. in competitive multi agent systems, a mechanism is required via which the agents can come to reach an agreement.  contract net protocols are one of the well-known negotiation protocols in multi-agent systems. in contract net pro...

this ability in fuzzy uml, practically leaves the customers and market’s need without response in this important and vital area. here, the available sequence diagrams in fuzzy uml will map into fuzzy petri net. however, the formal models ability will be added to the semi-formal fuzzy uml. this formalization will add the automatic processing ability to the semi-formal fuzzy uml. further more, ...

This paper presents an environment to automatically generate coordination rules from coloured Petri nets models.

Structural product form and decomposition results for stochastic Petri nets are surveyed, unified and extended. The contribution is threefold. First, the literature on structural results for product form over the number of tokens at the places is surveyed and rephrased completely in terms of T -invariants. Second, based on the underlying concept of group-local-balance, the product form results ...

This paper considers the appropriate properties for abstract net components in the Coloured Petri Net formalism. In doing so, it attempts to maintain the duality between places and transitions which is so foundational to Petri Net theory. It also defines what it means to execute the net at an abstract level.
