Unfolding through processes to compute the complete prefix of Petri netsArticle

Authors: Médésu Sogbohossou ; Antoine Vianou

    The partial-order technique of the unfolding implicitly represents state-space of a Petri net (PN), by in particular preserving the concurrency relations between the events. That makes it possible to contain state-space explosion problem in case of strong concurrency. A complete prefix of unfolding is used to cover all the state-space of a bounded PN: its computation according to the classical approach is based on the concept of adequate order, taking directly into account only safe PN. In this paper, a new approach independent of the concept of adequate order and faithful to the partial-order semantics, consists in creating the events of the unfolding in the context of a single process at the same time. The results of the tests are conclusive for safe and nonsafe PN. Some solutions are presented to improve compactness of the prefix obtained.
