Wolfgang Reisig3540137238, 9783540137238

The two-volume set originates from the Advanced Course on Petri Nets held in Dagstuhl, Germany in September 1996; beyond the lectures given there, additional chapters have been commissioned to give a well-balanced presentation of the state of the art in the area.Together with its companion volume ”Lectures on Petri Nets I: Basic Models” this book is the actual reference for the area and addresses professionals, students, lecturers, and researchers who are- interested in systems design and would like to learn to use Petri nets familiar with subareas of the theory or its applications and wish to view the whole area- interested in learning about recent results presented within a unified framework- planning to apply Petri nets in practical situations- interested in the relationship of Petri nets to other models of concurrent systems.
