“…On the one hand, in our future work, we want to expand the expressiveness of the WPTSPN by incorporating the sharing of resource restrictions [76], the interdependence between the time of activities [77], and the performance evaluation of synchronous operations [30] [31]. This may be accomplished utilizing model transformation approaches, fluid Stochastic Petri Net models [26], or Re-catNets models [78], which can be used to drive the tool to automatically change the development of the BPMN model into a WPTSPN like in [74] and [71].…”

In this paper, we propose astochastic Petri net model P-timed Workflow (WPTSPN) to specify, verify, and analyze a business process (BP) of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). After formalizing the semantics of our model, we illustrate how to verifysome of its properties (reachability, safety, boundedness, liveness, correctness, alive tokens, and security) in the P-Timed context. Next, we validate the relevance of the proposed model with MATLAB simulation through a specific FMS case study. Finally, we use a generalized truncated density function to predict the duration of a token's sojourn (residence) in a timed place with respect to the sequence states of the global FMS workflow.

“…In this article, we aim at solving the problems found in the existing works [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] by transforming BPMN onto Petri nets. Our approach integrates the ideas in previous works [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] to present a novel method of transforming BPMN elements (i.e. events, gateways, activities, pools, connecting objects, and lanes) onto equivalent Petri net elements.…”

Business Process Model and Notation is known as a widely used standard for business processes modeling. However, its main drawback is that it lacks formal semantics, leading to some undesirable properties, such as livelocks and deadlocks, such that it creates models with semantic errors. In order to formally verify them, we need to transform it onto a formal language, for example, Petri nets. The approach proposed in this article is an extension of previous approaches stated in the literature by adding probability to gateways and time to transitions. The first aim is to transform the Business Process Model and Notation process diagram onto Petri nets automatically using a developed software package. The developed software package is capable of transforming the XML file of a Business Process Model and Notation process diagram into ''m'' files of a Petri net. The ''m'' files of the Petri net are then coupled with the General Purpose Petri Net Simulator (GPenSIM) for analysis in MATLAB. The second aim is to manually transform the Business Process Model and Notation process diagram using mapping figures onto Petri nets and then analyze it using Timed Petri Net Analyzer tools. The advantage of transforming a Business Process Model and Notation diagram automatically is that we can add time to transitions and probability to gateways. Furthermore, the simulation time can be checked using MATLAB.

“…They proposed how to validate the termination of the transformation and how to verify the preservation of certain semantic properties of the transformation. In [20] and [19], the authors presented an approach based on SCALA (an environment for executing Isabelle/HOL specifications) that allows us to transform UML state machine diagrams (SMD) to colored Petri nets models and proved the correctness of certain structural properties of this transformation. They also illustrated their approach through another case study of transforming BPMN (business process) into Petri nets.…”

This paper proposes an approach integrating UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams (UML2-AD) and Communicating Sequential Process (CSP) for modeling and verication of software systems. A UML2-AD is used for modeling a software system while CSP is used for verication purposes. The proposed approach consists of another way of transforming UML2-AD models to Communicating Sequential Process (CSP) models. It focuses also on checking the correctness of some properties of the transformation itself. These properties are specified using Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) and verified using the GROOVE model checker. This approach is based on Model Driven Engineering (MDE). The meta-modelling is realized using AToMPM tool while the model transformation and the correctness of its properties are realized using GROOVE tool. Finally, we illustrated this approach through a case study.
