Original Abstract

PNtalk is a long-term project started in 1993 as an original attempt tobring high-level Petri nets closer to programming languages. The maingoal of this experiment has been to prove that formal models such asPetri nets can be used for systems development in a similar way astraditional programming languages. Originally, the project started as a consistent combination of high-level Petri nets andobjects in Smalltalk. The resulting language and system is calledPNtalk and its theoretical background is represented by Object OrientedPetri Nets. The rigorous mathematical nature of the PNtalk languageoffers a potential to solve analysis and verification problems. Severalexperimental implementations and verification methods have beendeveloped during the recent years. The present research is faced with new challenges in the area ofadvanced modelling and simulation techniques, applications ofhigh-level models in systems design, and formal verification. Thispaper provides an overview of the PNtalk project and its advancement.
