Coloured Petri Nets: Basic Concepts, Analysis Methods and Practical Use. Volume 2 (Monographs in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

This three-volume work presents a coherent description of the theoretical and practical aspects of coloured Petri nets (CP-nets). The second volume contains a detailed presentation of the analysis methods for CP-nets. They allow the modeller to investigate dynamic properties of CP-nets.
The main ideas behind the analysis methods are described as well as the mathematics on which they are based and also how the methods are supported by computer tools. Some parts of the volume are theoretical while others are application oriented. The purpose of the volume is to teach the reader how to use the formal analysis methods, which does not require a deep understanding of the underlying mathematical theory.
