Petri nets in secondary CS education

Published: 05 November 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Petri nets are a graphic and dynamic model type for interactive and distributed systems. They have been proposed for secondary CS education before but existing discussions are superficial at best. We present the results of a qualitative evaluation of two 90-minute lessons on Petri nets. The aim was to generate several working hypotheses for future research.
