This book offers a new Modular Petri Net as a solution to the vast
Petri net models. It presents some approaches centering around
modules (known as "Petri modules"). The goal of this book is to
introduce a methodology in which Petri nets are moved to a new
level. In this new level, large Petri net models are made of Petri
modules, which are independent and run on different computers. This
book also contains the literature study on modular Petri nets and
definitions for the newer Petri modules. Also, algorithms for
extracting Petri modules, and algorithms for connecting Petri
modules, and applications are given in this book. Besides, the
ideas and algorithms given in this book are implemented in the
software General-purpose Petri Net Simulator (GPenSIM). Hence, with
the use of this book the readers/users would be able to know that
real-life discrete event systems could be modeled, analyzed, and
performance-optimized with GPenSIM.

In this book, we introduce a new Petri Net simulator called GPenSIM
(General Purpose Petri Net Simulator). GPenSIM runs on MATLAB
platform. GPenSIM is designed with one specific goal: allowing
Petri net models to integrate with other MATLAB toolboxes. By
integrating Petri net models with other toolboxes, numerous
benefits can be reaped. For example, by integrating with MATLAB
Fuzzy Toolbox, we can experiment with Fuzzy Petri Nets; by
combining with MATLAB Control Systems Toolbox, we can create hybrid
discrete-continuous systems. Hence, the main goal of this book is
to introduce GPenSIM - a platform with which we can create Petri
net models incorporating many other toolboxes, libraries, and
functions that are already available on the MATLAB platform. There
are many examples worked out in this book. These examples are
simple and easy to follow. However, this book is not an
introduction to Petri nets. Reader should know Petri net basics
beforehand in order to start working with this book. Both the
simulator GPenSIM and codes for examples (M-files) can be
downloaded from the web site: http://www.davidrajuh.net/gpensim.
This book describes a methodology for automating supplier selection
procedures of small and medium- sized agile virtual enterprises.
Firstly, a modeling approach is given that divides the supplier
selection procedures broadly into three stages, the pre-selection,
selection, and post- selection stages. Then the methodology
identifies the steps within the selection stage that can be
automated. The methodology also proposes three modules for
automating the selection stage. To assist automation, the selection
stage is further divided into three sub-stages, namely, bidder
selection, partner selection and performance evaluation sub-
stages. By this methodology, each sub-stage of the selection stage
employs a module for automation: the data collection system for
automating on-site selection sub-stage, the inference engine for
selecting the best supplier from a list of potential suppliers, and
the performance evaluation engine for performance evaluation of the
supplier that is selected as the best supplier by the inference
engine.
