Week 1:
We introduce to four successful application areas of Petri nets:
Protocol verification, Business Process modeling and verification,
Synthesis of asynchronous circuits, Performance evaluation.
In the context of these applications, we motivate and develop core
elements of Petri net theory. In the end of the week, leading tools
in the area can be experienced.

Week 2:
We present the state of the art in four recently very active research
directions in the area of Petri nets. Each area is covered by at least
two lecturers. In addition, there is a hands-on session on modeling
complex systems with Petri nets.

Location


Rostock is situated in the north east of Germany, close to the coast of
the Baltic Sea. Airports of Hamburg and Berlin are in reasonable distance.
Rostock has about 200.000 inhabitants. Its center is quite compact, so
participants will have chances to run into each other during the
evenings. Yet, Rostock is large enough to offer a variety of hotels,
sights, restaurants, shops, and other things to spend the spare time on.


Rostock offers rich history and beautiful countryside. It used to be a
major stronghold of the Hanseatic League, a medieval association of
wealthy cities that dominated sea trade in the Baltic and Northern Sea
region. From that time, proud churches and parts of the city
fortifications can be visited. Rostock is situated in touch with the
coast of the Baltic Sea and has beautiful beaches and steep coast areas
in reach.
