The main idea of Petri net transformations is to extend the classical theory of Petri nets by a rule-based technique that allows to model the changes of the Petri net structure. There have been already a few approaches to describe transformations of Petri nets formally (e.g. in [2, 3, 31, 6, 32]). The intention has been mainly on reduction of nets to support verification, and not on the software development process as in our case. This use of transformations has been one of the main focus areas of the DFG-Research group Petri Net Technology. There are some large studies in various application areas as medical information
