============================================================ Call for papers PETRI NETS 2025 46th international conference on application and theory of Petri nets and concurrency ============================================================ Paris, France 23-27 June 2025 https://petrinets25.github.io/web/ ## Paper Submission Petri Nets 2025 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or tools related to the topics mentioned below. * Regular papers (20 pages LNCS excluding references) must describe 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 (10 pages LNCS excluding references) must describe 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. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English using the Springer LNCS format, including line numbers (e.g.,https://ctan.org/pkg/lineno LaTeX package) and submitted electronically (as a PDF file) by the deadline using EasyChair(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=petrinets2025). ## Important dates Abstract submission : 15 January 2025 Submission of papers : 22 January 2025 Notification : 10 March 2025 Final version due : 24 March 2025 Participation in tool exhibition: 30 May 2025 Workshops and Tutorials : 23-24 June 2025 Main Conference : 25-27 June 2025 The deadline is the end of day (AoE). ## Topics of Interest Topics specific to Petri Nets * Analysis and synthesis, structure and behavior of nets * System design and model-driven development using nets * Relationships between Petri nets and other approaches * Net-based semantical, logical and algebraic calculi * Higher-level net models (colored nets, timed nets, etc.) * Stochastic net models * Verification and model checking using nets * Process discovery and conformance checking * Computer tools for nets * Standardization of nets * Experience reports describing applications of nets to different kinds of systems and application fields (e.g., flexible manufacturing systems, office automation, real-time systems, workflows, embedded systems, process mining, biological systems, supervisory control, health and medical systems, protocols and networks, environmental systems, Internet and Web services, hardware, e-commerce and trading, telecommunications, programming languages, railway networks, performance evaluation, component based development, operations research) General topics of interest related to concurrency * Application of concurrency to system design: formal models for designing computer systems with concurrent behavior, applied research aimed at designing computer systems which exhibit concurrency, etc. * 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 * Modeling of hardware and biological systems 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 or focused on applications of concurrency to system design are sought. The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS. All accepted papers will be considered for an Outstanding Paper award. Authors of selected papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version that will be further reviewed for inclusion into a special issue of a renowned journal. ## Tool Exhibition An exhibition of Petri net tools will take place on Wednesday June 25. 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 chairs by the deadline stated at the top of this Call for Papers. They should include a link to the Web pages for the tool (or a short description of the tool). The demonstrators should bring their own laptops, while the organisers may be requested to give access to the Internet. ## Courses, Workshops and Tutorials The main conference takes place from Wednesday 25 to Friday 27. The two days before the main conference also offer a wide range of activities. The Petri Net Course takes place from Monday 23 to Tuesday 24. It offers a thorough introduction to Petri nets in half-days and full-day modules. For successful participation in the entire course, including preparation and examination, two credit points (ECTS) will be awarded. Each module of the course can also be taken separately, without any credit. Detailed descriptions of Workshops and Tutorials will be made available via the conference Web page. 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 Workshops and Tutorials chairs via email no later than January 15, 2025. ## Organization The 46th annual international Petri Nets conference will be organised by the LoVe (Logics and Verification) team at the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (France) jointly with members of the MeFoSyLoMa group. The conference will take place at the Campus Condorcet. ### Organization Committee * Étienne André (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) * Carlos Olarte (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) ### Program committee co-chairs * Elvio Amparore, Italy * Łukasz Mikulski, Poland ### Workshops co-chairs * Giuliana Franceschinis, Italy * Karsten Wolf, Germany ### Petri Net Course and Tutorials co-chairs * Jörg Desel, Germany * Lars Kristensen, Norway ### Publicity chair * Benoît Barbot, France ## Program committee * Elvio Amparore, Italy (co-chair) * Abel Armas Cervantes, Australia * João Paulo Barros, Portugal * Benoît Delahaye, France * João Miguel Fernandes, Portugal * Guiliana Franceschinis, Italy * Luis Gomes, Portugal * Xudong He, USA * Loïc Helouet, France * Wojciech Jamroga, Luxemburg * Gabriel Juhás, Slovakia * Anna Kalenkova, Australia * Michael Köhler-Bußmeier, Germany * Lars Kristensen, Norway * Lisa Mannel, Germany * Łukasz Mikulski, Poland (co-chair) * Andrew Miner, USA * Guillermo Alberto Perez, Belgium * Marta Pietkiewicz-Koutny, UK * Artem Polyvyanyy, Australia * Lucia Pomello, Italy * Andrey Rivkin, Denmark * Natalia Sidorova, The Netherlands * Jiří Srba, Denmark * Jeremy Sproston, Italy * Nathalie Sznajder, France * Remigiusz Wisniewski, Poland * Karsten Wolf, Germany
