In this report, we discuss the use of Petri Net language theory for business process modeling. Essentially, the focus is on the opportunities of the modeling technique for analysis and verification. Semantic compatibility, as opposed to syntactic compatibility, is concerned with the meaningfulness of the distributed business process. We start with a description and motivation of different notio...

We investigate private and social incentives for standardization to ensure market-wide system compatibility in a two-dimensional spatial competition model. We develop a new methodology to analyze competition on a torus and show that there is a fundamental conflict of interest between consumers and producers over the standardization decision. Consumers prefer standardization with full compatibil...

In reaction time studies of stimulus-response compatibility, emphasis has been placed on the influence of spatial stimulus-response relationships, but what seems to be essential for the emergence of an effect of stimulus-response compatibility is the existence of a conceptual match between stimulus and response variables. This notion was at the origin of the present study to assess the compatib...

The tendency to imitate others is a fundamental social skill which could develop via associative learning or some more specialized mechanism, such as observation-execution matching. In this paper, we employ a stimulus-response compatibility paradigm to evaluate whether ideomotor compatibility conforms to the same processes as other S-R responses. The findings reveal a dissociation between spati...

Although pollen tube growth has been an important criterion for self-compatibility evaluation in almond, there is not a clear-cut separation between positive and negative growth of pollen tubes in the different genotypes. The examination of pollen tube growth after selfing almond seedlings has allowed establishing different levels of compatibility, but not a clear-cut separation between self-co...
