In December I made the following query: > I am interested in running a petri net on a parallel machine such as the > transputer. Could netters post me information on references, available > implementations, or other relevant advice. I received the following replies: ---------------------------------- Date: Wed, 5 Dec 90 12:31:54 +0100 Reply-To: Andreas Mueck <mueck@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de> I can recommend you the following paper: Taubner D.: On the implementation of Petri nets, in: proc. 8th Petri Net Workshop, Zaragosa, Spain, 471-488, 1987. At CeBit '90 (greates Computer Exhibition in Germany) I talked to some people of Switzerland, which already have transputer implementation of PN. Here are their addresses: Jacques E. Boillat Transfer of New Technologies (TNT) Waaghausgasse 2 CH - 3001 Bern Switzerland Robert Esser LGZ Landis & Gyr Zug Corp. Central Research and Development Project leader Informatics CH - 6301 Zug Switzerland ---------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 5 Dec 90 10:25 CDT Reply-To: BUCKLES@comus.cs.tulane.edu I picked up your query about running Petri nets on parallel machine architectures. I don't know of any parallel simulation but I do know of one distributed simulation. It is being carried out by Dr. Devendra Kumar Dept. of Computer Engineering Case Western Reserve University 10900 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44106 1-216-368-2557 dev@alpha.ces,cwru.edu The particular class of nets he is simulating is timed P-T. -------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 6 Dec 90 17:20:16 +0100 Reply-To: Robert Valette <robert@droopy.laas.fr> I know the following paper: "A distributed simulator for high order Petri nets" by B. Buetler, R. Esser, R. Mattmann (Central Research and development, Landis and Gyr Zug AG, Zug Switzerland) published at: 10th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets Bonn, Germany, June 28-30, 1989. -------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Dec 90 17:18:49 +0100 Reply-To: adamb@enst.enst.fr (Adam Beguelin) We have a system that is based on Petri nets that allows you to design models and have them executed on a network of suns. See the following for more info. You can get the software from by sending mail to garyn@boulder.colorado.edu @inproceedings{ouroly, author = "G. Nutt and A. Beguelin and I. Demeure and S. Elliott and J. McWhirter and B. Sanders", title = "Olympus: An Interactive Simulation System", booktitle = "1989 Winter Simulation Conference Proceedings", month = {December}, year = {1989}, editor = "Edward A.
