Qualitative Analysis Of Enterprise Processes With Autonomous Petri Nets

Christine Coves, Didier Crestani, François Prunet
Abstract

Enterprise modelling is used to deal with the complexity of industrial world. However, most of the high level enterprise models cannot easily deal with formal analysis. In this paper a method based on autonomous Petri nets allowing to behaviorally analyze an enterprise process is proposed. The study of qualitative properties Like liveness, boundedness and invariants, permits the detection and interpretation of some dysfunctionings of the modeled process.
