Abstract

Since an autonomous continuous Petri net is presented as a limit case of autonomous discrete Petri nets, this new model thus preserves most of the properties of classical Petri nets.

A timed continuous Petri net, with firing speeds associated with transitions, can be obtained from a timed discrete Petri net by means of an approximation. Two kinds of approximations are proposed, with constant firing speeds and variable firing speeds, respectively. These models are compared.
