AbstractPetri Net based Software Tools for modeling and analysis of systems have been developed to provide a complete environment for: 1. Specification, 2. Net Creation and Manipulation, 3. Simulation and Execution, and 4. Analysis of systems. A specification language is developed which describes a system as a Petri Net graph model. A translator for Petri Net specification has been developed to check syntax and semantics of the specification language and appropriately maps into data structures. A high- level interactive graphical editor bridges the gap between the Petri Net Specification and t h e Petri Net Simulator. The capability of Petri Net simulator in simulating Petri Net model in various modes interactively makes it very useful to get insight into dynamic behavior of the system being modeled. Further reachability analysis technique has been implemented to observe various properties of the net. An additional feature of Subnet Modeling has been incorporated in the Simulator which provides capability to test each part of the net. This is extremely useful in the case of modeling a large system. Different case studies on real-time systems, simple flexible manufacturing system and parallel computation, have been considered in order to verify the effectiveness of the developed tools and to illustrate its possible use in other areas especially where complex con current system are involved.
