Summary: 
Petri nets are a well-known graphical and modeling tool for concurrent and distributed systems, and there have been many results on the theory, and also on practical applications. In the last decade, various Object-Oriented Petri nets (OO-nets) are proposed. As object orientation was adopted for programming languages, extension to OO-nets inspired from object-oriented programming is a natural flow. This article presents state-of-the-art on OO-nets.
