Production based language simulation of Petri nets
Ron Bauman, Tom A. Turano · SIMULATION · 1986
Petri net models are often of limited usefulness because the sys tems they represent are too complex to be represented in a clear manner. By using a Production Based Language simulation, the number of elements that must be explicitly drawn in the net diagram can be greatly reduced. A simulation such as this sim plifies the net without compromising the integrity of the model itself. This is demonstrated here by the OPS5 Production Based Language simulation of a communications protocol Petri net. Using this simulation and an error generator, an automated method of testing the protocol is shown.
