Volume 1\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eJensen, Kurt\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book presents a coherent description of the theoretical and practical aspects of Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN). It shows how CP-nets have been de­ veloped - from being a promising theoretical model to being a full-fledged lan­ guage for the design, specification, simulation, validation and implementation of large software systems (and other systems in which human beings and\/or com­ puters communicate by means of some more or less formal rules). The book contains the formal definition of CP-nets and the mathematical theory behind their analysis methods. However, it has been the intention to write the book in such a way that it also becomes attractive to readers who are more interested in applications than the underlying mathematics. This means that a large part of the book is written in a style which is closer to an engineering textbook (or a users' manual) than it is to a typical textbook in theoretical computer science. The book consists of three separate volumes. The first volume defines the net model (i. e. , hierarchical CP-nets) and the basic concepts (e. g. , the different behavioural properties such as deadlocks, fair­ ness and home markings). It gives a detailed presentation of many small exam­ ples and a brief overview of some industrial applications. It introduces the for­ mal analysis methods. Finally, it contains a description of a set of CPN tools which support the practical use of CP-nets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642082436\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-03241-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 236\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359211286668,"sku":"9783642082436","price":143.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642082436.jpg?v=1772828100","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642082436","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
