This workshop aims to bring leading
experts, researchers, and industrial practitioners in the area of Petri nets
and their applications to agile manufacturing and service automation together
to share their new R&D results and present their vision in the area.
Recently, Petri nets have gained significant amount of attention and
applications in such areas as semiconductor manufacturing, nano-manufacturing,
assembly, disassembly, discrete manufacturing, transportation, supply chain
management, web service, batch processes, and process industry. Hence, this
workshop intends to explore the theory and applications of Petri nets and
present their recent developments in the following targeted subject areas:
1) Theory
of Petri nets for manufacturing and service applications
2) Modeling
and synthesis of Petri nets
3) Qualitative
and quantitative analysis using extended Petri nets
4) Simulation
and control of automated systems
5) Deadlock
control algorithms
6) Planning
and scheduling
7) Hybrid
Petri net models for automated production processes
8) Object-oriented
design and Petri nets in complex system development
9) Novel
Applications of Petri nets to semiconductor manufacturing, continuous
manufacturing, nano-manufacturing, assembly, disassembly, discrete manufacturing,
transportation, supply chain management, web service, batch processes, and
process industry.
Paper Submission:
Papers must be
written in English, and be no longer than 15 pages, including references,
appendices and figures. The paper
must describe original work that has not been published before, nor submitted
for publication elsewhere. Electronic manuscripts (preferably in PDF) should be
sent to Ms. Bo Shang at optimalmatlab@gmail.com with a copy to
Prof. MengChu Zhou at zhoumc@yahoo.com and Prof. Zhiwu Li at systemscontrol@gmail.com.
The
submissions to the workshop will be evaluated by three members of the PC and
all accepted papers will be included in an informal proceedings printed by the
local organisers and handed out to the participants of the workshop.
Paper Acceptance:
Each accepted
paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The final
manuscript must be accompanied by a registration form and a registration fee
payment proof.
The final
accepted paper (not longer than 15 pages) must follow the Springer LNCS-format: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
After the conference, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit
a revised version for a special issue of the
LNCS Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ToPNoC)
published by Springer. The revised papers will go through an
additional round of reviewing for the ToPNoC journal.
Important Dates:
March 20: Electronic submission of papers to workshops.
May 1: Notification of acceptance/rejection.
June 1: Final version of papers (to workshop PC chair).
