This book presents a coherent description of the theoretical and
practical aspects of Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN). It shows
how CP-nets have been de veloped - from being a promising
theoretical model to being a full-fledged lan guage for the design,
specification, simulation, validation and implementation of large
software systems (and other systems in which human beings and/or
com puters communicate by means of some more or less formal rules).
The book contains the formal definition of CP-nets and the
mathematical theory behind their analysis methods. However, it has
been the intention to write the book in such a way that it also
becomes attractive to readers who are more interested in
applications than the underlying mathematics. This means that a
large part of the book is written in a style which is closer to an
engineering textbook (or a users' manual) than it is to a typical
textbook in theoretical computer science. The book consists of
three separate volumes. The first volume defines the net model (i.
e. , hierarchical CP-nets) and the basic concepts (e. g. , the
different behavioural properties such as deadlocks, fair ness and
home markings). It gives a detailed presentation of many small exam
ples and a brief overview of some industrial applications. It
introduces the for mal analysis methods. Finally, it contains a
description of a set of CPN tools which support the practical use
of CP-nets.
