Recursive Petri Nets (RPNs) allow to design and analyze complex discrete event systems. Indeed, RPNs enable to model patterns of discrete event systems related to the dynamic struc...
Achievement of quality in software design, while never easy, is made more difficult by the inherent complexity of hard real-time (HRT) design. Furthermore, timing requirements in...
−−−− Ordinary t-timed Petri Nets are used for modeling, analysis and synthesis of random topology production systems and networks. Each production system is first decompose...
