The 37th annual international Petri Nets conference will be organized by the Department of Formal Languages and

Concurrency (Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science) of Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland.

The conference will take place at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Nicolaus Copernicus

University. The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in

Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Papers presenting original research on application or theory of Petri nets, as well

as contributions addressing topics relevant to the general field of distributed and concurrent systems are sought. All

accepted regular papers will be considered for an “Outstanding Paper” award. Some of the best papers will be invited,

in an extended form, as submissions to a special issue of a well established computer science journal.

General topics related to concurrency Topics specific to Petri nets

 Model checking and verification of distributed systems

 Verification of infinite-state or parametric systems

 Causality/partial order theory of concurrency

 Educational issues related to concurrency

 New developments in the theory of concurrency

 Modelling of hardware and biological systems

Topics specific to Petri nets

 System design using nets

 Analysis and synthesis, structure and behaviour of nets

 Relationships between Petri nets and other approaches

 Net-based semantical, logical and algebraic calculi

 Symbolic net representation (graphical or textual)

 Computer tools for nets

 Experience with using nets, case studies

 Higher-level net models

 Timed and stochastic nets

 Standardisation of nets

 Experience reports describing applications of nets to different

kinds of systems and application fields, e.g.:

flexible manufacturing systems

real-time systems

embedded systems

defense systems

biological systems

health and medical systems

environmental systems

hardware

telecommunications

railway networks

component-based development

office automation

workflows

process mining

Paper Submission:

Two kinds of papers can be submitted:

 regular papers (max 20 pages) describing original results pertaining to the development of the theory of Petri nets and distributed and

concurrent systems in general, new results extending the applicability of Petri Nets, or case studies, application and experience reports

pertinent to the practical use of Petri nets and concurrency.

 tool papers (max 10 pages) describing a computer tool based on Petri nets (not an application of the tool or the theory behind the tool). The

tool should be available for use by other groups (but not necessarily for free). The submission should indicate how the reviewers can get

access to the tool (this must be for free). The tool will be demonstrated in the Tool Exhibition, in addition to being presented in

a conference talk.

Submitted papers must:

 be contributions that have not been published or submitted to other conferences/journals before or in parallel with this conference.

 clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work.

 be in English and in the Springer LNCS-format: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

 adhere to the page limit for the relevant category (see above).

 be sent electronically (as a PDF file) no later than January 10 (or January 15 if, an abstract was submitted by January 10), 2016 using the

easychair website.

The title page must:

 contain a short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above.

 clearly indicate whether the paper is submitted as a regular paper or tool paper.

Submissions violating the above requirements may be immediately rejected by the PC Chairs.

Tool Exhibition:

An exhibition of Petri net tools will take place on Wednesday. It consists of informal demonstrations for small groups/individuals, and there are

no scheduled talks. Requests for participation in the tool exhibition must be sent to the Tool Exhibition Chair before June 1, 2016. They should

include a link to the web pages for the tool (or a short description of the tool). The demonstrators bring their own machines, while the organizers

may be requested to give access to the Internet.

Courses, Workshops and Tutorials:

The main conference takes place from Wednesday to Friday. The three days before the main conference also offer a wide range of activities.

The Petri Net Course takes place from Sunday to Tuesday. It offers a thorough introduction to Petri nets in four half–day modules on Sunday

and Monday, and a full–day tutorial module on Tuesday. For successful participation in the entire course, including preparation and

examination, three credit points (ECTS) will be awarded. Each module of the course can also be taken separately, without any credit.

Workshops take place on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday there will be two tutorials on applications of Petri nets and/or new developments

presented by experts in the area. These tutorials can be followed independently or in combination with the Petri Net Course. Detailed

descriptions of Workshops and Tutorials will be made available via the conference web pages.

It is also possible to arrange Meetings and Courses related to Petri Nets. Submissions for such activities must contain a 2 – 5 page description.

They must be received by the PC – chairs via email no later than January 10, 2016.

History of the Conference:

The aim of the conference is to create a forum for discussing progress in the application and theory of Petri nets. Typically, the conferences have

100–150 participants – some of them coming from industry, the rest from universities and research institutions. The conference takes place at the

end of June, in such a way that the last Friday in June closes the conference. The proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes

in Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/).
