Abstract: The authors present a procedure for computing the cycle time of concurrent systems modeled by a restricted class of Petri nets, ie decision-free and safe persistent nets. The procedure is based on formulating the cycle time computation as a minimal cost-to-time ratio cycle problem. The result is an efficient algorithm.
