“…In timed nets [48], occurrence times are associated with transitions, and transition occurrences are real-time events, i.e., tokens are removed from input places at the beginning of the occurrence period, and they are deposited to the output places at the end of this period (sometimes this is also called a three-phase firing mechanism as opposed to one-phase instantaneous occurrences of transitions in stochastic nets [2], [3] and time nets [24]). All occurrences of enabled transitions are initiated in the same instants of time in which the transitions become enabled (although some enabled transitions cannot initiate their occurrences).…”

Abstract-Timed Petri nets are formal models of discrete concurrent systems. Since the durations of all activities are included in the model descriptions, many performance characteristics can be derived from such models. In the case of cluster tools, net models represent the flow of wafers through the chambers of the tool as well as consecutive actions performed by the robotic transporter. Steady-state performance of cluster tools with chamber revisiting is investigated in this paper. A systematic development of detailed tool schedules, based on a general behavioral description of the tool, is proposed and is used to derive the corresponding Petri net models. Symbolic performance characteristics of the modeled tools are obtained by using place invariants, without exhaustive reachability analysis. Simple examples presented in the paper can be easily extended in many ways.

“…[Kienhuis et al, 1997] finds a satisfactory architecture design, mapping and structure for the algorithms. Important requirements for the models and modelling techniques are: [Jensen, 1992], timed Petri nets [Zuberek, 1991], stochastic delays [Molloy, 1982] and hierarchy provide expressive modelling power. These Petri net concepts are supported by the tool ExSpect [ASPT, 1994].…”
Abstract. We present an approach to model dataflow architectures at a high level of abstraction using timed coloured Petri nets. We specifically examine the value of Petri nets for evaluating the performance of such architectures. For this purpose we assess the value of Petri nets both as a modelling technique for dataftow architectures and as an analysis tool that yields valuable performance data for such architectures through the execution of Petri net models. Because our aim is to use the models for performance analysis, we focus on representing the timing and communication behaviour of the architecture rather than the functionality. A modular approach is used to model architectures. We identify five basic hardware building blocks from which Petri net models of dataflow architectures can be constructed. In defining the building blocks we will identify strengths and weaknesses of Petri nets for modelling dataflow architectures. A technique called folding is applied to build generic models of dataflow architectures. A timed coloured Petri net model of the Prophid data.flow architecture, which is being developed at Philips Research Laboratories, is presented. This model has been designed in the tool ExSpect. The performance of the Prophid architecture has been analysed by simulation with this model.
