The 28th annual international Petri Net conference and tutorials will
be organised by the Institute of Computer Science at the University 
of Podlasie and Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy 
of Sciences. 
Papers presenting original contributions in any area of application 
and theory of Petri nets are sought. The language of the conference is
English. 

Topics:
- System design and verification using nets, 
- Analysis and synthesis, structure and behaviour of nets, 
- Relationships between net theory and other approaches, 
- Causality/partial order theory of concurrency, 
- Net-based semantical, logical and algebraic calculi, 
- Symbolic net representation (graphical or textual), 
- Computer tools for nets, 
- Experience with using nets, case studies, 
- Educational issues related to nets, 
- Higher-level net models, 
- Timed and stochastic nets, 
- Standardisation of nets, 
- Applications of nets to different kinds of systems and application
  fields, e.g.: flexible manufacturing systems, real-time systems,
  embedded systems, defence systems, biological systems, health and
  medical systems, environmental systems, hardware structures,
  telecommunications, railway networks, office automation, workflows,
  supervisory control, protocols and networks, Internet, e-commerce 
  and trading, programming languages, performance evaluation,
  operations research. 


The conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS and GI SIG "Petri Nets and Related System
Models". The proceedings will be pub- lished by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science.

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 150-200 participants - one third of these coming from industry,
the rest from universities and research institutions. The conference
takes place in the last week of June. The proceedings are published by
Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/).
