Integrating implementation properties in analysis of petri nets handling exceptions

Abstract

To design and implement complex digital systems, designers need to have an efficient methodology. In this goal, HILECOP has been developed to transform automatically Petri nets in a VHDL code. To ease design and increase the reactivity of exception handling, the mechanism of macroplace has been added to the formalism of Petri nets. This article describes an automatic model transformation for the analysis step. It integrates implementation properties to enhance reliability.
