Abstract

This chapter presents two of the functions (tools) that are available in the GPenSIM for the analysis of Petri nets: coverability tree and firing sequences. In coverability tree analysis, we determine the states that are reachable from a given initial state. The firing sequence is executing a sequence of transitions, to study the state space generated by the firings.
