Abstract

The PNtalk system is a language and tool based on object-oriented Petri nets (OOPNs). Its purpose is to support modelling and prototyping of concurrent and distributed software systems. PNtalk benefits from the features of Petri nets (formal nature, suggestive description of parallelism, theoretical background) as well as object-orientedness (abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and modularity). Our current prototype has been built up as an open system which can combine different modeling and simulation paradigms of describing models and can also simultaneously support several independent simulations. This article is focused on describing the PNtalk architecture. A simple yet suggestive model will demonstrate how PNtalk can be used for modelling and simulation.
