Recoverability of modular systems
Philip M. Merlin, David J. Farber · 1975
In [1] GOSTELOW-VAN WEERT, it was shown that processes can be described by Petri-nets (PN). In this note we will demonstrate a way of designing programs using Petri-nets as a way of describing the desired behavior. This approach makes it possible to utilize all the theoretic knowledge developed for PN and thus provides a powerful tool for program design. In an example of this approach we show how to design a recoverable program. This design is based on a study of recoverable PN's presented in [2], [3], [4] and [5].
