Applications and Theory of Petri Nets 2004

This volume contains the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets (ICATPN 2004). The aim of the Petri net conferences is to create a forum for discussing progress in the application and theory of Petri nets. Typically, the conferenceshave 100 150participants,one third of these c- ing from industry, whereas the others are from universities and research insti- tions. The conferences always take place in the last week of June. The conference and a number of other activities are coordinated by a ste- ing committee with the following members: Wil van der Aalst (The Neth- lands),JonathanBillington(Australia),JrgDesel(Germany),SusannaDonatelli (Italy),SergeHaddad(France),KurtJensen(Denmark),MaciejKoutny(United Kingdom), Sadatoshi Kumagai(Japan), GiorgioDe Michelis (Italy), Tadao- rata (USA), Carl Adam Petri (Germany, Honorary Member), Wolfgang Reisig (Germany),GrzegorzRozenberg(TheNetherlands,Chairman)andManuelSilva (Spain). The 2004 conference was organized by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna, Italy. We would like to thank the organizing c- mittee, chaired by Roberto Gorrieri, for the e?ort invested in making the event successful. We are also grateful to the following sponsoring institutions and - ganizations: Associazione Italiana per l Informatica ed il Calcolo Automatico (AICA), Microsoft Research, and Network Project & Solutions (NPS Group). We received a total of 62 submissions from 26 di?erent countries. The p- gramcommittee?nallyselected19regularpapersand5toolpresentationpapers. This volume comprises the papers that were accepted for presentation. Invited lectures were given by Gianfranco Ciardo, Roberto Gorrieri, Thomas A. H- zinger, Wojciech Penczek, Lucia Pomello and William H. Sanders. Their papers are also included in this volume.

Autorentext
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Reisig is a professor at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Germany. He has over 30 years experience in the theory, applications, and teaching of Petri nets and related techniques; and he has been closely involved in the key community initiatives such as related conferences. Among his books are titles in the areas of Petri nets, distributed algorithmsm, and computational systems biology.
