Features: In recent years, Petri nets have been widely applied in fields such as computer science, automation, communication, transportation, power and electronics, services, and manufacturing. This book is rich in content, combining theoretical depth with practical applicability, as well as mathematical expressions with textual descriptions, aligning with the cognitive patterns of students and scholars in general science and engineering disciplines. The book is divided into two parts, totaling 10 chapters. Part 1, consisting of Chapters 1 and 2, discusses the fundamental theories of discrete event dynamic systems and the basic knowledge of manufacturing system modeling and control. The second part, Chapters 3 to 10, provides a detailed and progressive explanation of basic Petri nets, timed, stochastic, colored, object-oriented, fuzzy, hybrid Petri nets, as well as variable-structure Petri net theory suitable for modern time-varying manufacturing systems and their applications in manufacturing system modeling and control. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in industrial engineering and manufacturing engineering programs in science and engineering disciplines, as well as a reference for technical and engineering personnel for continuous learning.
