Abstract

Model based approach is crucial to the analysis of system design. Colored Petri Nets (CPNet) have been used as software model with good success. It can be used to complement UML diagrams by providing formal modeling and analysis of dynamic behaviors of distributed systems. In order to enable CPNet model to be utilized more flexibly and widely, a new software tool JCPNet has been developed. This paper discusses the background, motivation and development of JCPNet, and its applications to specification and analysis of distributed systems.
