Title
State Number Calculation Problem Of Workflow Nets
Abstract
The number of states is a very important matter for model checking approach in Petri net's analysis. We first gave a formal definition of state number calculation problem: For a Petri net with an initial state (marking), how many states does it have? Next we showed the problem cannot be solved in polynomial time for a popular subclass of Petri nets, known as free choice workflow nets, if P not equal NP. Then we proposed a polynomial time algorithm to solve the problem by utilizing a representational bias called as process tree. We also showed effectiveness of the algorithm through an application example.
