This volume contains the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ICATPN 2005). The Petri net conferences serve to discuss yearly progress in the ?eld of Petri nets and related models of concurrency, and to foster new - vancesintheapplicationandtheoryofPetrinets.Theconferencestypicallyhave 100–150 participants, one third from industry and the others from universities and research institutions, and they always take place in the last week of June. SuccessiveeditionsoftheconferencearecoordinatedbytheSteeringCommittee, whose members are listed on the next page, which also supervises several other activities—see the Petri Nets World at the URLwww.daimi.au.dk/PetriNets. The 2005 conference was organized in Miami by the School of Computer Science at Florida International University (USA). We would like to express our deep thanks to the Organizing Committee, chaired by Xudong He, for the time and e?ort invested to the bene?t of the community in making the event successful. Several tutorials and workshops were organized within the conf- ence, covering introductory and advanced aspects related to Petri nets. Detailed information can be found at the conference URLwww.cs.fiu.edu/atpn2005. We received altogether 71 submissions from authors in 22 countries. Two submissions were not in the scope of the conference. The Program Comm- tee selected 23 contributions from the remaining 69 submissions, classi?ed into three categories: application papers (6 accepted, 25 submitted), theory papers (14 accepted, 40 submitted), and tool presentations (3 accepted, 4 submitted).

This book is a comprehensive, systematic survey of the synthesis problem, and of region theory which underlies its solution, covering the related theory, algorithms, and applications. The authors focus on safe Petri nets and place/transition nets (P/T-nets), treating synthesis as an automated process which, given behavioural specifications or partial specifications of a system to be realized, decides whether the specifications are feasible, and then produces a Petri net realizing them exactly, or if this is not possible produces a Petri net realizing an optimal approximation of the specifications. In Part I the authors introduce elementary net synthesis. In Part II they explain variations of elementary net synthesis and the unified theory of net synthesis. The first three chapters of Part III address the linear algebraic structure of regions, synthesis of P/T-nets from finite initialized transition systems, and the synthesis of unbounded P/T-nets. Finally, the last chapter in Part III and the chapters in Part IV cover more advanced topics and applications: P/T-nets with the step firing rule, extracting concurrency from transition systems, process discovery, supervisory control, and the design of speed-independent circuits. Most chapters conclude with exercises, and the book is a valuable reference for both graduate students of computer science and electrical engineering and researchers and engineers in this domain.
