The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Structured occurrence nets (SONs) are a Petri net based formalism for portraying the behaviour of complex evolving systems. The concept extends that of occurrence nets - a formalism that can be used to record causality and concurrency information concerning a single execution of a system. In SONs, multiple occurrence nets are combined by various types of relationships. In particular, relationships are included that enable the representation of dependencies between communicating and evolving sub-systems. In this paper, we introduce a tool for editing, simulating, and analysing SONs. The present version deals with three of the various types of abstractions that have been defined for SONs.
