Lectures on Concurrency and Petri Nets
by J�rg Desel, Wolfgang Reisig, and Grzegorz Rozenberg
Published 14 June 2004
The very ?rst model of concurrent and distributed systems was introduced by C.A. Petri in his seminal Ph.D. thesis in 1964. Petri nets has remained a central model for concurrentsystemsfor40 years,andthey areoften usedasa yardstick for other models of concurrency. As a matter of fact, many other models have been developed since then, and this research area is ?ourishing today. The goal of the 4th Advanced Course on Petri Nets held in Eichsta ..tt, Germany in September 2003 was to present applications and the theory of Petri Nets in the context of a whole range of other models. We believe that in this way the participants of the course received a broad and in-depth picture of research in concurrent and distributed systems. It is also the goal of this volume to convey this picture. The volume is based on lectures given at the Advanced Course, but in order to provide a balanced p- sentation of the ?eld, some of the lectures are not included, and some material not presented in Eichst. att is covered here. In particular, a series of introductory lectures was not included in this volume, as the material they covered is well - tablishedby now,andwellpresentedelsewhere (e.g.,inW.
ReisigandG. Roz- berg, eds., "Lectures on Petri Nets," LNCS 1491, 1492, Springer-Verlag, 1997 - these two volumes are based on the 3rd Advanced Course on Petri Nets).

Applications and Theory of Petri Nets 2004
by J Cortadella and Wolfgang Reisig
Published 15 June 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.
