Definition of Petri Net

C = ( P, T, I, O) Places

P = { p1, p2, p3, …, pn} Transitions

T = { t1, t2, t3, …, tn} Input

I : T Pr (r = number of places) Output

O : T Pq (q = number of places)

marking µ : assignment of tokens to the places of Petri net µ = µ1, µ2, µ3, … µn

Basics of Petri Nets

Petri net is primarily used for studying the dynamic concurrent behavior of network-based systems where there is a discrete flow.

Petri net consist two types of nodes: places and transitions. And arc exists only from a place to a transition or from a transition to a place.

A place may have zero or more tokens.

Graphically, places, transitions, arcs, and tokens are represented respectively by: circles, bars, arrows, and dots.

Basics of Petri Nets … Below is an example Petri net with two

places and one transaction. Transition node is ready to fire if and

only if there is at least one token at each of its input places

state transition of form (1, 0) (0, 1)p1 : input place p2: output place

Sequential ExecutionTransition t2 can fire only after the firing of t1. This impose the precedence of constraints "t2 after t1."

SynchronizationTransition t1 will be enabled only when a token there are at least one token at each of its input places.

MergingHappens when tokens from several places arrive for service at the same transition.

Concurrency t1 and t2 are concurrent. - with this property, Petri net is able to model systems of distributed control with multiple processes executing concurrently in time.

Conflictt1 and t2 are both ready to fire but the firing of any leads to the disabling of the other transitions.

Time in Petri Net

Original model of Petri Net was timeless. Time was not explicitly considered.

Even though there are arguments against the introduction of time, there are several applications that require notion of time.

General approach: Transition is associated with a time for which

no event/firing of a token can occur until this delay time has elapsed.

This delay time can be deterministic or probabilistic.

17

Modeling of Time

Constant times Transition occurs at pre-determined times

(deterministic)

Stochastic times Time is determined by some random variable

(probabilistic) Stochastic Petri Nets(SPN)

18

Stochastic Petri Nets

An SPN is defined as a 7-tuple SPN= (P, T, I(.), O(.), H(.), W(.), M0) where PN = (P, T, I(.), O(.), H(.), M0) is the P/T system

underlying the SPN Transitions have an exponentially distributed

delay W(.): T --> R assigns a rate to each transition (inverse of the mean firing time)

19

Stochastic Petri Nets …

The stochastic process underlying an SPN

is a CTMC in which the state transition rate diagram is isomorphic

to the reachability graph

the transition labels are computed from the

W(.) functions of the transitions enabled in a

state.

Generalized Stochastic Petri Net (GSPN)

Two types of transitions timed with an exponentially distributed delay immediate, with constant zero delay immediate have priority over timed

Why immediate transitions: to account for instantaneous actions (typically

choices) to implement logical actions (e.g. emptying a

place) to account for large time scale differences (e.g.

bus arbitration vs. I/O accesses)

Stochastic Activity Network (SAN)

The desire to represent system characteristics of parallelism and timeliness, as well as fault tolerance and degradable performance, precipitated the development of general level performability models known as stochastic activity networks.

Stochastic activity networks are probabilistic extensions of activity networks the nature of the extension is similar to the extension that constructs stochastic Petri nets from (classical) Petri nets.
