    Abstract = {Object Petri nets (OPNs) provide a natural and modular
method for the modelling of many real-world systems. We give a
structure-preserving translation of OPNs to Prolog, avoiding the need
for an unfolding to a flat Petri net. The translation provides support
for reference and value semantics, and even allows different objects to
be treated as copyable or non-copyable, respectively. The method is
developed for OPNs with arbitrary nesting. We then apply logic
programming tools to animate, compile and model check OPNs. In
particular, we use the partial evaluation system LOGEN to produce an
OPN compiler, and we use the model checker XTL to verify CTL formulas.
We also use LOGEN to produce special purpose model checkers. We present
two case studies, along with experimental results. A comparison to OPN
translations to Maude specifications and model checking is given,
showing that our approach is roughly twice as fast for larger systems.
We also tackle infinite state model checking using the ECCE system.},
