Model Transformations via XSLT
Petri nets, transformations, workflow modelling, agents
Many present systems are conceived as a set of autonomous agents that communicate together in solving problems. Petri nets are commonly used for a specification of parallel systems. An interesting question is whether we can implement arbitrary system by a set of Petri nets agents. These agents could be specified by Petri nets, but such a description is not sufficiently user-friendly. Our idea is to define these agents by classical workflow models and then transform them into a set of Petri nets. Such transformation would support development of software systems, whose specification is based on classical workflow models, but the implementation is based on Petri nets. Each net of the resulting system is translated into a specific target representation called Petri Nets Byte Code (PNBC). These codes are interpreted by the special Petri Nets Virtual Machines (PNVM), which are installed on all nodes of the system under the Petri Nets Operating System (PNOS). This paper deals with the one step of this process, which is an implementation of required transformations from workflow model into Petri nets with the help of XSLT.
