Activity-Oriented Petri Nets: Aligning Real-World Buffers with Virtual Places (original) (raw)

2017, International journal of simulation: systems, science and technology

Activity-Oriented Petri Nets (AOPN) is a convenient way of modeling and simulation of discrete event systems when a large number of resources are involved. By the AOPN approach, Petri net models are created by focusing only on the activities and by pushing the resources into the background. As a result, the Petri net obtained by this approach works on a virtual platform and the places of this Petri net seemingly has no relevance to the real-world buffers. In case the places are supposed to represent the buffers, this paper explains how the places can be aligned with the buffers. As this paper focuses on a unique problem in AOPN, it is written in a tutorial style, keeping literature study and relevant works to a minimum.
