Survey of Petri nets usage in programming. Not very interesting...
For example, PNs were used to represent concurrent programs written in a C-like language in [14] and the tasking behavior of Ada programs in [17], [18].
For a complete representation of programs by PNs, high level PNs are to be used. For instance, high level PNs are used for the internal representation of the specification in the PEP tool. PEP is a software tool for the development, verification, and simulation of parallel programs [19]. In PEP, specifications can be described by programs written in B(PN)2 [20] and SDL [21] or by parallel finite automata [22]. Note that parallel finite automata are a collection of finite automata labeled with B(PN)2 instructions. Specifications given in any of these three forms can be translated into high level PNs, Petri box calculus expressions [23], and low-level PNs. M-nets [24] are used for the high level PNs and safe PNs for the low-level PNs. Naturally, finite safe PNs cannot represent the specification unless all variables are defined on finite domains [20].
