This book constitutes the proceedings of the 40th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency, PETRI NETS 2019, held in Aachen, Germany, , in June 2018. Petri Nets 2019 is co-located with the 19th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design, ACSD 2019. The 23 regular and 3 invited papers presented together in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The focus of the conference is on following topics: Models, Tools, Synthesis, Semantics, Concurrent Processes, Algorithmic Aspects, Parametrics and Combinatorics, and Models with Extensions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency, ICATPN 2006, held in Turku, Finland in June 2006. The book presents 16 revised full papers and 6 revised tool papers together with 4 invited papers. All current issues on research and development in the area of Petri nets and modeling of concurrent systems are addressed.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets. The aim of the Petri net conferences is to create a forum for the dissemination of the latest results in the application and theory of Petri nets. Typically there are some 150-200 participants and usually one third of these come from industry, while the rest are from universities and research institutions. The conferences and a number of other activitiesare co- dinatedbyasteering committeeformedby: G.Balbo (Italy), J. Billington(A- tralia), C. Girault (France), K. Jensen (Denmark), S.

The 1999 Petri net conference took place in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was organized by the Department of Computer Science of The College of William and Mary, Williamsburg. This was the second time the conference had been organized in the United States. We received 45 submissions from 15 countries on 5 continents of which 21 accepted for presentation. The submitted papers were evaluated by a program committee with the following members: W. van der Aalst (The Netherlands), P. Azema (France), W. Brauer (Germany), S. Christensen (Denmark), A. Desrochers (U.S.A.), S. Donatelli (Italy; co-chair), C. Girault (France), L. Gomes (Portugal), J. Hillston (United Kingdom), E

These Transactions publish archival papers in the broad area of Petri nets and other models of concurrency, ranging from theoretical work to tool support and industrial applications. ToPNoC issues are published as LNCS volumes, and hence are widely distributed and indexed. This Journal has its own Editorial Board which selects papers based on a rigorous two-stage refereeing process. ToPNoC contains: - Revised versions of a selection of the best papers from workshops and tutorials at the annual Petri net conferences - Special sections/issues within particular subareas (similar to those published in the Advances in Petri Nets series) - Other papers invited for publication in ToPNoC - Papers submitted directly to ToPNoC by their authors The fifth volume of ToPNoC contains revised versions of selected papers from workshops and tutorials held in conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency, as well as a contributed paper selected through the regular submission track of ToPNoC. The 12 papers cover a diverse range of topics including model checking and system verification, synthesis, foundational work on specific classes of Petri nets, and innovative applications of Petri nets and other models of concurrency. Thus, this volume gives a good view of ongoing concurrent systems and Petri nets research.
