Elective courses for Computer Science and Machine Learning
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

Petri nets are probably the most successful model for concurrency. It combines two features: simplicity of presentation together with advanced analysis techniques. Rich literature is availabe, and many tools that support the use of Petri nets in commercial and scientific areas. Necessary for everyone who would like to understand the coordination of cooperating parallel processes.

2. Reachability graph.

3. Place-transition nets. Petri nets properties: reachability, liveness, boundedness

4. Incidence matrix and the state equation. .

5. Coverability graph.

6. Cycles. P-systems, T-systems

7. Free-choice Petri nets

Learning outcomes:

Students learn techniques for design and analysis of asynchronous concurrent systems, with particular emphasis on business processes. They are able to use mathematical methods to analyze systems (K_W02, K_U01). They are able to resolve problems of non-blocking, boundedness and liveness of soncurren systems (K_U07). They acquire knowledge about reachability problems in systems with an exponential explosion of the number of states.

Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

During the workshops associated with the lecture students solve a series of homework assignments. Final mark proposal is based on the individual activity during the workshops supported by an adequate number of solved homework tasks. The exam consists of a written solution of a set of tasks covering the material. Tasks are assessed on a scale 0-4. The threshold is 50%
