Abstract

A Computer Aided Petri Net Design System is developed for creating decision-making organizational architectures of arbitrary complexity and for computing the structural attributes describing the organization. The Design System has four modes of operation: A Graphics Editor mode, used for the interactive generation of the Petri Net structure of the organization; A Text Editor mode, used to store, modify and retrieve attributes assigned to the Petri Net primitives; A Structural Analysis mode, used to generate the structural properties of the organization, such as the incidence matrix, the interconnection matrix and the information flow paths: and a Hardcopy mode, used to generate graphic images on output devices. In addition a set of auxiliary functions handle the file manipulation, user-software interface, command interpretation and grammar-rule enforcing tasks of the System.
