Abstract

This paper presents three translations from Petri nets to Modeling, Simulation and Verification Language (MSVL) programs. Each translation is directed by one of the three semantics of Petri nets, namely interleaving, concurrency and max-concurrency. Further, for each translation, an equivalence relation between Petri nets and generated MSVL programs is proved. As a result, the supporting tool MSV for MSVL can be used to verify the properties of Petri nets. Case studies are given to show how to do so with MSV under each semantics.
