The 41st annual international Petri Nets conference will be organised by the LoVe (Logics and Verification) team of the computer science laboratory LIPN (Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris Nord), University Paris 13 and CNRS, jointly with members of the Paris region MeFoSyLoMa group (Méthodes Formelles pour les Systèmes Logiciels et Matériels). The conference will take place in the conference area of Campus Condorcet, the new international research campus in humanities and social sciences in Paris. The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Papers presenting original research on application or theory of Petri nets, as well as contributions addressing topics relevant to the general field of distributed and concurrent systems are sought. All accepted papers will be considered for an “Outstanding Paper” award. Authors of selected papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version that will be further reviewed for inclusion into a special issue of Fundamenta Informaticae.
The confererence will have a special track on Application of Concurrency to System design (ACSD)
Conference Topics:
General topics related to concurrency:
Model checking and verification of distributed systems
Verification of infinite-state or parametric systems
Causality/partial order theory of concurrency
Educational issues related to concurrency
New developments in the theory of concurrency
Modelling of hardware and biological systems
Specific topics specific to Petri Nets:
Analysis and synthesis, structure and behaviour of nets
System design and model-driven development using nets
Relationships between Petri nets and other approaches
Net-based semantical, logical and algebraic calculi
Higher-level net models (coloured nets, timed nets, etc.)
Stochastic net models
Verification and model checking using nets
Process discovery and conformance checking
Computer tools for nets
Standardisation of nets
Experience reports describing applications of nets to different
kinds of systems and application fields
Special track on Applications of Concurrecny to System Design (ACSD)
Theoretical and applied research about formal approaches (in a broad sense) to designing computer systems that exhibit concurrent behaviour
Modelling concurrency with data-flows, communicating automata, process algebras, graph rewriting systems, state charts, MCSs, modal and temporal logics
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
-
Regular papers (max 20 pages) describing original results pertaining to the development of the theory of Petri Nets and distributed and concurrent systems in general, new results extending the applicability of Petri Nets, or case studies, application and experienc reports pertinent to the practical use of Petri Nets and concurrency.
- Tool papers (max 10 pages) describing a computer tool based on Petri Nets (not an application of the tool or the theory behind the tool). The tool should be available for use by other groups (but not necessarily for free). The submission should indicate how the reviewers can get access to the tool (this must be for free). The tool will be demonstrated in the Tool Exhibition, in addition to being presented in a conference talk.
Papers must be written in English using the Springer LNCS format: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and
submitted electronically (as a PDF file) by the deadline indicated at the top of this Call for Papers using EasyChair: https:
//easychair.org/conferences/?conf=petrinets2020.
Tool Exhibition:
An exhibition of Petri net tools will take place on Wednesday. It consists of informal demonstrations for small groups/individuals
and there are no scheduled talks. Requests for participation in the tool exhibition must be sent to the Tool Exhibition chairs by the
deadline stated at the top of this Call for Papers. They should include a link to the web pages for the tool (or a short description of
the tool). The demonstrators should bring their own laptops, while the organisers may be requested to give access to the Internet.
Courses, Workshops and Tutorials:
The main conference takes place from Wednesday to Friday. The three days before the main conference also offer a wide range
of activities. The Petri Net Course takes place from Sunday to Tuesday. It offers a thorough introduction to Petri nets in four
half-day modules on Sunday and Monday, and a full-day tutorial module on Tuesday. For successful participation in the entire
course, including preparation and examination, three credit points (ECTS) will be awarded. Each module of the course can also be
taken separately, without any credit.
Workshops take place on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday there will be two tutorials on applications of Petri nets and/or new
developments presented by experts in the area. These tutorials can be followed independently or in combination with the Petri Net
Course. Detailed descriptions of Workshops and Tutorials will be made available via the conference web pages.
It is also possible to arrange Meetings and Courses related to Petri Nets. Submissions for such activities must contain a 2–5
page description. They must be received by the Workshops and Tutorials chairs via email no later than January 10, 2020.
