“…Timed continuous Petri nets (TCPNs) are continuous-state systems that have demonstrated to be useful for modelling biological systems (Ross-León, Ramírez-Treviño, Alejandro Morales, & Ruiz-León, 2010), traffic systems (Júlvez & Boel, 2010;Tolba, Lefebvre, Thomas, & El Moudni, 2005), manufacturing systems (Amrah, Zerhouni, & El-Moudni, 1997;Jiménez & Pérez, 2004;Lefebvre, 1999), etc. Furthermore, TCPNs can be seen (as originally introduced) as continuous relaxations of discrete Petri net (PN) models (David & Alla, 1987), defined in order to overcome the state explosion problem in highly populated systems (with many resources, clients, messages, parts, etc., see for instance (David & Alla, 2010;Silva, Júlvez, Mahulea, & Vázquez, 2011;Silva & Recalde, 2004).…”
