Abstract

This paper presents a Petri net based agent model for virtual tourism. This model is based on object oriented Petri nets. The object Petri net model of virtual tourism consists of three distinct layers. Petri net models of agents are proposed to specify the components of mobile agent systems as autonomous modules. Each layer of the system has been modeled by a Petri net sub-module. The upper layers of the model consist of transitions, which are the encapsulated versions of the Petri net modules in a lower level layer. Communications among agents are defined via interfaces that are specified by the agent.
