Abstract

In a labeled Petri Net we assign symbols from an alphabet to some or all the transitions of a Petri Net. To each firing sequence of such a Labeled Petri Net corresponds to a string over the alphabet. We study the languages obtained in this way by all firing sequences of a Petri Net, or by all firing sequences which reach a given final marking. We consider the closure properties of these languages, their characterization, their relation to other language families, and the decidability of various problems concerning these languages. The last chapter relates Petri Nets to Counter Automata and Weak Counter Automata, introduces inhibitor Nets and Priority Nets, and considers extensions and limitations of the Petri Net Languages.
