Abstract

The interest in Petri nets has grown within the automatic control community in parallel with the development of the theory of discrete event systems. In this article, our goal is to give a flavor of the features that make Petri nets a good model for discrete event systems and to point out the main areas where Petri nets have offered the most significant contributions.
