Petri Nets

Petri nets are a mathematical modeling tool used to represent and analyze systems with concurrent or parallel processes. They consist of places (which can hold tokens, representing states), transitions (which represent events that can occur), and directed arcs that connect them. When certain conditions are met, transitions can "fire," moving tokens between places and changing the system's state. This framework is useful in various fields, including computer science, engineering, and logistics, as it helps visualize complex processes, understand their behavior, and identify inefficiencies or potential problems.
