These systems  exhibit concurrent, sequential, competitive activities among their  components. They are often complex and large in scale, and necessarily  flexible and thus highly capital-intensive. Examples of systems are  manufacturing systems, communication networks, traffic and logistic  systems, and military command and control systems. Modeling and  performance evaluation play a vital role in the design and operation  of such high-performance DEDSs and thus have received widespread  attention from researchers over the past two decades. One methodology  resulting from this effort is based on timed Petri nets and related  graphical and mathematical tools. \u003cbr\u003e  The popularity that Petri nets have been gaining in modeling of DEDSs  is due to their powerful representational ability of concurrency and  synchronization; however these properties of DEDSs cannot be expressed  easily in traditional formalisms developed for analysis of `classical'  systems with sequential behaviors. \u003cbr\u003e  This book introduces the theories and applications of timed Petri nets  systematically. Moreover, it also presents many practical applications  in addition to theoretical developments, together with the latest  research results and industrial applications of timed Petri nets.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eTimed Petri Nets: Theory and Application\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for use by  researchers and practitioners in the area of Discrete Event Dynamic  Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461375319\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461375319\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5537-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 281\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359041286284,"sku":"9781461375319","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461375319.jpg?v=1755100456","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461375319","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
