The paper describes the transformation of network diagrams into a Timed Coloured Petri net. It shows the possibilities of project parameters optimization.
We have recently used Timed Colored Petri Nets (Timed-CPN) to improve possibilities of project plans based on network diagrams and to give a formal background to this improvement. Algorithmically created Timed-CPN provides required features, but it may be too complex in some of its sub-areas. The paper presents a specification of such elements of a Timed-CPN that can be eliminated with no impact on time behavior of the complete net. The elimination can be done algorithmically. Thus, we can reduce large nets in size automatically, which improves readability of the model on the Timed-CPN level.
