About this book
The brief uses GPenSIM to enable the efficient modeling of complex and large-scale discrete-event systems. GPenSIM, which is based on MATLAB®, is designed to allow easy integration of Petri net models with a vast number of toolboxes that are available on the MATLAB®. The book offers an approach for developing models that can interact with the external environment; this will help readers to solve problems in industrial diverse fields. These problems include:
- airport capacity evaluation for aviation authorities;
- finding bottlenecks in supply chains;
- scheduling drilling operations in the oil and gas industry; and
- optimal scheduling of jobs in grid computing.
This brief is of interest to researchers working on the modeling, simulation and performance evaluation of discrete-event systems, as it shows them the design and applications of an efficient modeling package. Since the book also explains the basic principles of modeling discrete-event systems in a step-by-step manner, it is also of interest to final-year undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Reviews
“It offers a guided tour of GPenSim’s features, emphasizing its generality and extensibility. … The book includes 38 detailed examples illustrating the functions of the program. Together with the program, it provides a very accessible laboratory to support courses or self-study based on one of the classical texts on Petri nets and discrete event modeling.” (H. Van Dyke Parunak, Computing Reviews, March 25, 2019)
