About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The monograph presents a step-by step development of rigorous framework for the specification and verification of concurrent systems. … The book contains full proofs, carefully chosen examples and several possible directions for further research. The development of the Petri net algebra is handled in such a way that it allows for further application-oriented extensions and modifications. The book is self-contained in the sense that no previous knowledge of Petri nets and process algebras is required." (Ryszard Janicki, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2003 g)
"This monograph combines two theories of concurrency: process algebras and Petri nets. … The book can serve researches and practitioners working in concurrency theory or in formalization of parallel and distributed systems. It can also be used in an advanced graduate course as a textbook or as a reference. The book contains numerous examples and exercises included in the text immediately following the relevant material. … it is well organized and coherent both in structure and content." (Boleslaw Mikolajczak, SIGACT News, Vol. 33 (2), 2002)
