uml is known as one of the most common methods in software engineering.since this language is semi-formal, many researches and efforts have beenperformed to transform this language into formal methods including petri nets.thus, the operation of verification and validation of the qualitative and nonfunctionalparameters could be achieved with more ability. since the majority of thereal world info...

This paper gives the Petri net ontology as the most important element in providing Petri net support for the Semantic Web. Available Petri net formal descriptions are: metamodels, UML profiles, ontologies and syntax. Metamodels are useful, but their main purpose is for Petri net tools. Although the current Petri-net community effort Petri Net Markup Language (PNML) is XMLbased, it lacks a preci...

To evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by Stochastic Petri Net in this paper. In this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of Petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of Stochastic Petri Net and the computing power of Markov chain. Each...

The basic concepts of the Petri Net Baukastenn are introduced. The Petri Net Baukastenn is a Petri net technology and provides Petri net techniques. The Petri Net Baukastenn is consists of the Common Base and three diierent views, the Application Developer View, the Tool Developer View, and the Expert View. The main focus is to support the application developer and the tool developer as well as...

The concept of a Petri net, a tool for the study of certain discrete dynamical systems, was invented in 1939 by Carl Adam Petri. In the attempt to characterize Boolean Petri nets, we discovered a subclass of Boolean Petri net called the crisp Boolean Petri net, viz. , the one that generates every binary vector as its marking vectors exactly once. In this paper, the construction of a crisp Boole...
