Modeling Discrete-Event Systems with GPenSIM

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES))

Abstract

This chapter introduces Petri nets and the General Purpose Petri net Simulator (GPenSIM). Petri net is widely accepted for modeling and simulation of discrete-event systems, due to its graphical representation and the well-defined semantics. GPenSIM defines a Petri net language on MATLAB platform. GPenSIM is also a simulator with which Petri net models can be developed, simulated, and analyzed. GPenSIM is easy to learn, use, and extend.
