Abstract

This paper introduces the Hierarchical Petri net Simulator (HiPS), a Petri net design tool implemented using C# and C++, the .NET Framework, and an interprocess communication channel. HiPS supports hierarchical modeling and can analyze the dynamic and structural properties of a Petri net by generating state spaces. The state space generation engine in HiPS provides a memory-saving technique and high-speed execution. We have devised an Extended Coverability Graph (ECG) mechanism for liveness and persistence properties to accurately maintain transition information. In this paper, we extend HiPS to include a liveness analyzer that utilizes the ECG mechanism and an on-the-fly model checker for event-based systems. We also describe an algorithm that generates state spaces by multi-threading. Furthermore, we propose priority firing estimation with on-the-fly model checking for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL).
