Driven by the request for increased productivity, flexibility, and
competitiveness, modern civilization increasingly has created
high-performance discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs). These
systems exhibit concurrent, sequential, competitive activities
among their components. They are often complex and large in scale,
and necessarily flexible and thus highly capital-intensive.
Examples of systems are manufacturing systems, communication
networks, traffic and logistic systems, and military command and
control systems. Modeling and performance evaluation play a vital
role in the design and operation of such high-performance DEDSs and
thus have received widespread attention from researchers over the
past two decades. One methodology resulting from this effort is
based on timed Petri nets and related graphical and mathematical
tools.

The popularity that Petri nets have been gaining in modeling of
DEDSs is due to their powerful representational ability of
concurrency and synchronization; however these properties of DEDSs
cannot be expressed easily in traditional formalisms developed for
analysis of `classical' systems with sequential behaviors.

This book introduces the theories and applications of timed Petri
nets systematically. Moreover, it also presents many practical
applications in addition to theoretical developments, together with
the latest research results and industrial applications of timed
Petri nets.
