Abstract

Concurrency is a difficult subject to teach and learn. This paper presents a set of recipes for the use of Petri nets as a teaching aid of some fundamental concurrency concepts, in the context of an introductory concurrent programming course. Classroom experience clearly demonstrates this usage of Petri nets improves students understanding of concurrency concepts.
