Summary
The course is continuation of Petri Nets I. It deals with the theory and practical use of advanced "high-level" Petri nets. These nets include data flows description and hierarchical decomposition of complex systems - as opposed to classical "low-level" Petri nets.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To understand the basic concepts and methods of systems description using high-level Petri nets.
To accept the high-level Petri nets as an extra suited tool for system modelling, design, and verification.
To gaine some practical experiences with this tool (especially the CPN of K.Jensen).
