Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled
"Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC).
The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing as is standard practice for journal papers.
Papers from previous instances of this workshop
(
PNSE'07,
PNDS'08,
PNSE'09,
PNSE'10,
PNSE'11,
PNSE'12 and
PNSE'13)
made it into ToPNoC volumes in the Springer LNCS
series (volumes
5100,
5460,
5800,
6550,
6900 and
7400).
Scope
For the successful realisation of complex systems of interacting and
reactive software and hardware components the use of a precise
language at different stages of the development process is of crucial
importance. Petri nets are becoming increasingly popular in this
area, as they provide a uniform language supporting the tasks of
modelling, validation, and verification. Their popularity is due to the
fact that Petri nets capture fundamental aspects of causality,
concurrency and choice in a natural and mathematically precise way
without compromising readability.
The workshop PNSE'14 (Petri Nets and Software Engineering) will take
place as a satellite event of Petri Nets 2014 and ACSD 2014.
The use of Petri Nets (P/T-Nets, Coloured Petri Nets and
extensions) in the formal process of software engineering, covering
modelling, validation, and verification, will be presented as well as their
application and tools supporting the disciplines mentioned above.
Topics
We welcome contributions describing original research in topics
related to Petri nets in combination with
software engineering, addressing open problems or presenting new ideas regarding
the relation of Petri nets and software engineering.
Furthermore we look for surveys addressing open problems and new applications of Petri nets.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-
Modelling
-
representation of formal models by intuitive modelling concepts
-
guidelines for the construction of system models
-
representative examples
-
process-, service-, state-, event-, object- and agent-oriented approaches
-
adaption, integration, and enhancement of concepts from other
disciplines
-
views and abstractions of systems
-
model-driven architecture
-
modelling software landscapes
-
web service-based software development
-
Validation and Execution
-
prototyping
-
simulation, observation, animation
-
code generation and execution
-
testing and debugging
-
process mining
-
efficient implementation
-
Verification
-
structural methods (e.g. place invariants, reduction rules)
-
results for structural subclasses of nets
-
relations between structure and behaviour
-
state space based approaches
-
efficient model checking
-
assertional and deductive methods (e.g. temporal logics)
-
process algebraic methods
-
applications of category theory and linear logic
-
general analysis for software engineering contexts
-
Application of Petri nets in Software Engineering, in particular the
use of Petri nets in the domains of
- flexible manufacturing,
- logistics,
- telecommunication,
- workflow management and
- embedded systems.
-
Tools in the fields mentioned above
