Abstract
Petri-Nets are a very expressive modelling concept. However, modelling industrial problems using Petri-Nets is not a trivial task as Petri-Nets do not provide support for constructing large models. Modelling a complete business process, for example, with several activities and associated resources using Petri-Nets becomes a complex task. Model transformations are a promising technology to address this problem. In this paper we present an extended Petri-Net model that supports modelling industrial problems via model transformations. We also introduce a transformation framework that allows to graphically define model transformations by templates.
