In this web-page (http://bode.diee.unica.it/~hpn) we have collected a list of references in the field of Hybrid Petri Nets.

We have been able to group some of these works on the basis of the models used. All the works of difficult classification have been put under the heading "Other Works". A meaningful classification of all  Hybrid Petri Net models so far appeared in the literature is still missing.

Please contact  Alessandro Giua (giua@diee.unica.it) if you have additions to make to this page, corrections, or suggestions for improvement.

Books, Surveys, Special Issues and Thesis

All the works collected under this heading give an overview of the  main approaches to hybrid control using nets. These works present an introduction to several approaches in hybrid systems research with an extended list of references. Emphasis is put on the state-of -the-art about Petri nets, on hybrid control systems, on Petri net approaches to hybrid control.


 

Articles

 


Continuous and Hybrid Petri Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by R. David and H. Alla. These authors have obtained a continuous  model by fluidization of a discrete Petri net. Hybrid Petri nets are made of a "continuous part" (continuous places and transitions) and a "discrete part" (discrete places and transitions). The continuous part can model systems with continuous flows and the discrete part models the logic functioning. 
 

Fluid Stochastic Petri Nets

All the works collected under this heading  are based on the  model presented by K.S. Trivedi and V.G. Kulkarni.They extend the stochastic Petri nets framework to Fluid Stochastic Petri Nets by introducing places with continuous tokens and arcs with fluid flow so as to handle stochastic fluid flow systems. No continuous transitions are present in this model. They define hybrid  nets in such a way that the discrete and continuous portions may affect each other. The approach has been extended to second order flow approximations. 
 

DAE-Petri Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by D. Andreu, J.C. Pascal, C. Valentin-Roubinet,and R. Valette. This approach does not try to represent in a unified way the continuous and discrete aspects, as it is the case in hybrid Petri nets in which there are discrete places with an integer token load and continuous ones with a real token load. On the contrary, the model focuses on the interaction between a Petri net model of the discrete aspect of the batch system and a continuous model which is a set of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE). It can be seen as an extension of hybrid automata. This approach is well suited for modelling batch processes. Batch processes include continuous operations (a continuous flow of raw material through an equipment) and discrete ones (a reaction involving a whole batch of raw material with a beginning and an end). They are a case of hybrid industrial processes. The automation of such processes poses difficult issues because it is necessary to concurrently deal with continuous and discrete models. This approach has been tested in the food industry for the validation of scheduling policies and is currently been developed for supervisory control and reactive scheduling. 
 

Batch Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by I. Demongodin, N. Audry and F. Prunet. The authors developed a new type of Petri nets called Batches Petri nets. This model, an extension of the Hybrid Petri nets, allows one to integrate a formalization of parts circulation on accumulation conveyors. The batches Petri net is defined with the introduction of a new kind of  batch places and batch transitions. They have been defined in order to represent the conveyance systems in transient behavior and are well suited to model high throughput production lines. 
 

Hybrid Flow Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by J.-M. Flaus. The author proposes a new methodology for modelling batch processes in order to take into account the hybrid nature of these processes. The proposed approach is based on the analysis on a system as a set of continuous and discrete flows. The notion of hybrid flow nets can then be seen as an extension of Petri nets for hybrid systems. This modelling tool is made of a continuous flow net interacting with a Petri net according to a control interaction, that is to say the Petri net controls the continuous flow net and vice versa. The overall philosophy of Petri nets is preserved again. This tool is able to describe in a graphical way continuous and discrete flow interacting together. The discrete part is a Petri net while the continuous part is called continuous flow net whose dynamic evolution has be defined so that to be similar to the one of Petri net, with a continuous enabling rule and a continuous firing rule. Hybrid flow nets are well suited for the modelling of batch processes, which can be seen as a set of flows interacting together. 
 

First-Order Hybrid Petri Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by  F. Balduzzi, A. Giua and G. Menga. First-Order Hybrid Petri Nets are nets that consist of continuous places holding fluid, discrete places containing a non-negative integer number of tokens, and transition, either discrete or continuous. The hybrid Petri net model follows the formalism described by R. David and H. Alla. As in all hybrid models, in First-Order Hybrid Petri Nets the authors distinguish two behavioral levels: time-driven and event-driven. The continuous time-driven evolution of the net is described by first-order fluid models, i.e., models in which the continuous flows have constant rates and the fluid content of each continuous place varies linearly with time. A discrete-event model describes the behavior of the net that, upon the occurrence of macro-events, evolves through a sequence of macro-states. The authors set up a linear algebraic formalism to study the first--order continuous behavior of this model and show how its control can be framed as a conflict resolution policy that aims to optimize a given objective function. The use of linear algebra leads to sensitivity analysis that allows one to study of how changes in the structure of the model influence the optimal behavior. 
 

Differential Petri Nets

All the works collected under this heading are based on the  model presented by I. Demongodin and N.T. Koussoulas. The authors have developed Differential Petri Nets, a new member of the family of Petri net models, which allow us to model continuous-time dynamic processes represented by systems of differential equations. The differential Petri net is defined through the introduction of a new kind of place and transition, namely, the differential place (whose marking may also be negative) and the differential transition. The authors have developed evolution rules to precise the simulation of hybrid systems composed by a continuous part cooperating with a discrete event part, i.e. the typical paradigm of a supervisory control system. Differential Petri Nets can integrate all kinds of discrete Petri nets. In fact, the introduction of a new type of place and of transition does not change the description and the evolution of the discrete part. Thus, it is possible to integrate in Differential Petri nets, stochastic, interpreted and many other kinds and extensions of Petri nets. Through the introduction of this new formalism it is possible to model concurrently discrete-event processes and continuous-time dynamic processes, represented by systems of linear ordinary differential equations. This model can contribute to the performance analysis and design of industrial supervisory control systems and of hybrid control systems in general.
 

High-Level Hybrid Nets

The works collected under this heading consider different  models presented by several authors. All these models, however, are based on High-Level nets, i.e., nets characterized by the use of structured individual tokens. High-Level Hybrid Nets are a useful model that provides a simple graphical representation of hybrid systems and takes advantage of the modular structure of Petri nets in giving a compact description of systems composed of interacting subsystems, both time-continuous and discrete-event. The use of colors in the continuous places allows one to model continuous variables that may take negative value.
