Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPNs) is a language for modelling and validation of concurrent and distributed systems and other systems in which concurrency, synchronisation, and communication plays a major role. The CPN textbook introduces the constructs of the CPN modelling language and explains how CPN models facilitate simulation, state space analysis, behavioural visualisation, and simulation-based performance analysis. It provides a comprehensive road map to the practical use of CP-nets including a presentation of selected industrial case studies illustrating the use of CPN modelling and validation for design, specification, simulation, and verification in a variety of application domains.
This website contains supplementary material for the textbook, including slides sets, CPN models, and suggestions for smaller projects.
