Abstract
The supervisory control theory includes constructing a set of models of discrete event systems. These models are to operate concurrently and interact with each other. In this paper the prioritised synchronous composition (PSC) of Petri nets is discussed. The PSC is an important composition formalism because it captures controllability without requiring the supervisor to be complete, for instance. PSC for Petri nets requires testing the number of tokens to be less than the arc weight. One way to realise such tests is to use weighted inhibitor arcs.
