Bernd Daene, Herwig Unger, Khaled Ben Achour: Some Aspects to the Graphical Design of Software in: Parallel Computing: Trends and Applications. Elsevier Science B.V. 1994 (Advances in Parallel Computing, Vol. 9) pp. 597-600 Proceedings of ParCo93, Grenoble, France 7-10 Sep 1993 Abstract: Petri Nets have proved to be an efficient tool for solving a lot of problems in the field of automation and systems design. The paper shows new advantages in the use of nets for finding software solutions for multiprocessor systems in process automation. The concept of the CASE tool SATURN introduced in this report is a well-usable one because it combines formal methods with a highly plastic graphic representation and a clear interface.
