Valcartier Lines: 27 As research scientist involved in real-time modeling and simulation, I am looking for a Petri Net tool for modeling and simulating a real-time system. More specifically an automated tool (PN analyzer and performance evaluation) provided with feature for reachability graph analysis and time aspects would be desirable. Even tough some tools already exist for PN analysis disregarding time aspects, a Timed PN tool might be extremely useful for real applications dealing with Hard Real-Time systems. In addition I would be very grateful if comp.realtime'fellows could tell me about the availibility of Public domain PN tools. As a first approach to PN a public domain automated tool might be suitable. If you know somebody dealing with Timed PN let me know, I am very concerned about analysis and performance evaluation for such a system using automated tool( Public domain or not). Hopefully, I would be very pleased if somebody comes up with a public domain tool references.
