Discrete event system,   Supervisory control,   Petri Net, Constraint   This paper presents a method to manage the time in a manufacturing system for obtaining an optimized model. The system in this paper is modeled by the timed Petri net and the optimization is performed based on the structural properties of Petri nets. In a system there are some states which are called forbidden states an...

This paper discusses coloured Petri net models of so-called timed influence nets with logic. Previous work has developed a method to translate a timed influence net into a coloured Petri net. The work in this paper describes a new and more compact translation from timed influence nets with logic into coloured Petri nets. The translation has the property that the net structure of the coloured Pe...

This paper tackles the problem of the verification of the correctness of Real Time systems. In our approach a Real Time system is modeled as a timed Petri net. We specify requirements using another type of timed Petri net and the observation function that maps transitions in one net into another. The paper introduces both timed Petri net models, defines partial and total correctness and present...

It had been shown that Merlin’s Time Petri Nets are a special case of Time Stream Petri Nets. In this paper, we show that it does not exist a time equivalence between both models. We extend first this result to the non equivalence of Timed Automata and Time Petri Nets and second to the non equivalence of Timed Link Petri Net and Timed Transition Petri Net.

The paper describes a formal procedure to construct a Petri net model starting from the differential equations that describe the behavior of a canal network. In a first approach, the equations are discretized and the corresponding model takes the form of a deterministic timed Petri net. In a second approach, timed continuous Petri nets are used. The dynamic behavior of the system can be studied...

Timed Petri nets can be used to model and analyse scheduling problems. To support the modelling of scheduling problems, we provide a method to map tasks, resources and constraints onto a timed Petri net. By mapping scheduling problems onto Petri nets, we are able to use standard Petri net theory. In this paper we will show that we can use Petri net based tools and techniques to find conflicting...
