| Description: |
This title presents a step-by-step development of a framework for the specification and verification of concurrent systems. "Petri Net Algebra" takes its inspiration and methods from Process Algebra and Petri Nets, two prominent branches of concurrency theory. |
| Synopsis: |
In modern society services and support provided by computer-based systems have become ubiquitous and indeed have started to fund amentally alter the way people conduct their business. Moreover, it has become apparent that among the great variety of computer technologies available to potential users a crucial role will be played by concurrent systems. The reason is that many commonly occurring phenomena and computer applications are highly con- current : typical examples include control systems, computer networks, digital hardware, business computing, and multimedia systems. Such systems are characterised by ever increasing complexity, which results when large num- bers of concurrently active components interact. This has been recognised and addressed within the computing science community. In particular, sev- eral form al models of concurrent systems have been proposed, studied, and applied in practice. This book brings together two of the most widely used formalisms for de- scribing and analysing concurrent systems: Petri nets and process algebras.On the one hand , process algebras allow one to specify and reason about the design of complex concurrent computing systems by means of algebraic operators corresponding to common programming constructs. Petri nets, on the other hand, provide a graphical representation of such systems and an additional means of verifying their correctness efficiently, as well as a way of expressing properties related to causality and concurrency in system be- haviour. |
