Automata-Based Programming With Petri Nets – Part 1

Petri Nets are extremely powerful and expressive, but they are not as widely used in the software development community as deterministic state machines. That’s a pity – they allow us to solve problems beyond the reach of conventional state machines. This is the first in a mini-series on software development with Petri Nets. All of the code for a full feature-complete Petri Net library is available online at GitHub. You’re welcome to take a copy, play with it and use it in your own projects. Code for this and subsequent articles can be found at http://github.com/aabs/PetriNets.
