Abstract

This article proposes a modeling language for developing concurrent software, Object-Oriented Petri Nets (OOPN), which combines the maintainability and reusability of Object Orientation (OO) and the advantages of Petri Nets a graphical interface and a sound theoretical background. By doing so, each benefits from the other and their negative aspects are at least effectively diminished. The implementation of the OOPN-Integrated Development Environment (OOPN-IDE) and a unique strategy for using OOPN are then explored. Potential applications for this modeling language and possibilities for future work are considered.
