Abstract

Petri Nets are becoming increasingly popular as a means to formally specify and verify hardware systems at a high level. Many tools are being developed. Unfortunately, no common format is available that would allow these tools to interchange designs, for two main reasons: most tools only implement a subset of the Petri Net notation, and many tools do not allow the use of hierarchy. We present an interchange format for the description of hierarchical Coloured Petri Nets. It has many features in common with EDIF.
