Abstract

There are at least two main reasons for studying classes of Petri nets. First, many systems are specified as sets of communicating sequential processes, with formal rules of construction which give birth to special kind of structures ([Her 79], [BMR 80] or [LSB 79]). The second is theoretical. Analysis algorithms have an exponential complexity. In assuming some constraints on the structure of the net, one can hope to decrease this complexity substantially.
