  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Petri net
A Petri net (also known as a place/transition net or P/T net) is one of several mathematical representations of discrete distributed systems.
Petri nets were invented in 1962 by Carl Adam Petri in his Ph.D thesis.
Carl Adam Petri is a honorary professor at the University of Hamburg.

 Petri Nets
Petri nets are mathematical stuff to define, model, simulate and to some extend reason on event driven networks of agents, which is the stronger of a few of such mathematical models because it supports multiple (parallel) firing of nodes.
Petri nets are very powerful, but still easily comprehensible mathematical models, which have been augmented, e.g.
Petri nets are configurable in a large number of aspects.

 Cover Pages: Petri Net Markup Language (PNML)
Originally, the PNML was intended to serve as a file format for the Java version of the Petri Net Kernel.
Each Petri net consists of objects, where the objects, basically, represent the graph structure of the Petri net.
Thus, an unknown XML element appearing in a Petri net or in an object may indicated as a label of the net or the object..." [cache]

  Petri net Summary
The state of a Petri net can be represented as an M vector, where the 1st value of the vector is the amount of tokens in the 1st place of the net, the 2nd is amount of tokens in the 2nd place, and so on.
The Petri net is then synchronized with the finite state automaton, i.e., a transition in the automaton is taken at the same time as the corresponding transition in the Petri net.
There are many more extensions to Petri nets, however, it is important to keep in mind, that as the complexity of the net increases in terms of extended properties, the harder it is to use standard tools to evaluate certain properties of the net.

 Petri Net Models
Petri nets, or place-transition nets, are classical models of concurrency, non-determinism, and control flow, first proposed by Carl Adam Petri in 1962.
Classical Petri nets are useful in investigating qualitative or logical properties of concurrent systems, such as mutual exclusion, existence and absence of deadlocks, boundedness and fairness.
The basic philosophy underlying the use of various classes of stochastic Petri net in performance evaluation is the equivalence of their marking process, under appropriate distributional assumptions, to a Mrkov or Semi-Markov process with discrete state space.

 Introduction to Petri Nets
Petri Nets have been successfuly used for concurrent and parallel systems modeling and analysis, communication protocols, performance evaluation and fault-tolerant systems.
There are many varieties of petri nets from simple net (let's call them fl and white Petri nets), which are conceptually simple and straightforward to analyse, to more complex nets such as coloured nets, timed nets and stochastic nets.
The notation of coloured nets is far more concise than fl and white nets, and thereby avoids a lot of the duplication which is typical of fl and white nets.

 Petri Nets
The Petri nets group (see logo on the left) defines Petri nets as follows: Petri Nets: a formal, graphical, executable technique for the specification and analysis of concurrent, discrete-event dynamic systems; a technique undergoing standardisation.
Petri nets derive their name from the inventor of this tool: Prof.
Visual feedback from the Petri net graph at each iteration of the specification increases understanding of the requirements, highlights errors in the model (or sometimes the requirements) and results in rapid convergence on a mathematically correct and consistent specification.

A Petri net may also be conservative with respect to a weighting vector such that all markings when multiplied by the weighting vector are equal.

 Introduction to Petri Nets
Petri nets are a promising tool for describing and studying systems that are characterized as being concurrent, asynchronous, distributed, parallel, nondeterministic, and/or stochastic.
As a graphical tool, Petri nets can be used as a visual-communication aid similar to flow charts, block diagrams, and networks.
This is where a lot of effort was expended in convincing WG11 that there should be a Petri net standard and that the right place for it was 7.19.

This modelling tool is made of a continuous flow net interacting with a Petri net according to a control interaction, that is to say the Petri net controls the continuous flow net and vice versa.
The discrete part is a Petri net while the continuous part is called continuous flow net whose dynamic evolution has be defined so that to be similar to the one of Petri net, with a continuous enabling rule and a continuous firing rule.
The differential Petri net is defined through the introduction of a new kind of place and transition, namely, the differential place (whose marking may also be negative) and the differential transition.

 Petri Net
Petri nets were in the subsequent years refined by both Petri and his scholars, who worked on the theoretical foundations, but also on extensions and possible applications of Petri nets.
Petri nets have recently become more popular due to their appropriateness for describing concurrent behaviour, especially in WorkFlow systems.
Many extensions of Petri nets have been developed such as the addition of stochastic time for use by automatic simulation, additional types of connections to express more types of process logic, support for hierarchy and modularity, etcetera.

Example Petri Net before t1 fires:  Petri Net after t1 fires:  Original Petri Nets Only 1 token can be removed/added from a place when a transition fires (i.e., the weight is always 1) Weighted Petri Nets Generalized the original Petri net to allow multiple tokens to be added/removed when a transition fires.
Time Extended Petri nets First developed in the mid 1970s For real systems it is often important to describe the temporal behavior of the system, i.e., we need to model durations and delays.
Transitions use the values of the consumed tokens to determine the values of the produced tokens a transition describes the relation between the values of the `input tokens' and the values of the `output tokens' It is also possible to specify `preconditions' which take the colors of tokens to be consumed into account.

 Self-Reproducing Systems
A formal definition of self reproducing system is proposed using Petri nets.
Petri net were designed to represent dynamical systems in which individual objects can change their state, interact with other objects, produce new objects, etc. Formally, Petri nets have two types of components: places (=positions) and transitions.
This approach can be adopted for Petri nets: a stationary dynamics of the Petri net is evolutionary stable if it is not sensitive to the introduction of small number of any kind of objects.
