Preface by Guest Editors

摘要

This volume of ToPNoC contains revised versions of a selection of the best workshop papers presented at satellite events of the 39th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency (Petri Nets 2018) and the 18th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD 2018). In addition, this volume contains three papers based on the advanced tutorials held in conjunction with Petri Nets 2017/2018 and ACSD 2017/2018 as well as one paper submitted directly to ToPNoC. As guest editors, we are indebted to the Program Committees of the workshops and in particular to the chairs. Without their enthusiastic efforts, this volume would not have been possible. We are also indebted to the lecturers of the advanced tutorials who took the time and effort to transform the material presented at the tutorial into self-contained papers aimed at a broad audience. The workshop papers considered for this special issue have been selected in a close cooperation with the workshop chairs. Members of the Program Committees have participated in reviewing the new versions of the papers eventually submitted. We have received suggestions for papers for this special issue from: 1. ATAED 2018: Workshop on Algorithms and Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (chairs: Wil van der Aalst, Robin Bergenthum, and Josep Carmona) 2. PNSE 2018: International Workshop on Petri Nets and Software Engineering (chairs: Ekkart Kindler, Daniel Moldt, and Heiko Roelke)
