The Petri Net Markup Language (PNML) is an XML-based interchange format for Petri nets. In order to support different versions of Petri nets and, in particular, future versions of Petri nets, PNML allows the definition of Petri net types. Due to this flexibility, PNML is a starting point for a standard interchange format for Petri nets. This paper discusses the design principles, the basic concepts, and the underlying XML technology of PNML. The main purpose of this paper is to disseminate the ideas of PNML and to stimulate discussion on and contributions to a standard Petri net interchange format.W.M.P. van der Aalst and E.

fast is a tool for the analysis of infinite systems. This paper describes the underlying theory, the architecture choices that have been made in the tool design. The user must provide a model to analyse, the property to check and a computation policy. Several such policies are proposed as a standard in the package, others can be added by the user. fast capabilities are compared with those of other tools. A range of case studies from the literature has been investigated.

International audienceFast acceleration of symbolic transition systems (Fast) is a tool for the analysis of systems manipulating unbounded integer variables. We check safety properties by computing the reachability set of the system under study. Even if this reachability set is not necessarily recursive, we use innovative techniques, namely symbolic representation, acceleration and circuit selection, to increase convergence. Fast has proved to perform very well on case studies. This paper describes the tool, from the underlying theory to the architecture choices. Finally, Fast capabilities are compared with those of other tools. A range of case studies from the literature is investigated
