A Modular Integrated Development Environment for Coloured Petri Net Models

Abstract

Distributed software systems are becoming increasingly popular and used. Most of modern distributed systems provide the application of concurrency, also in- cluding resource sharing, communication and synchronization between different modules. These distributed systems comes with the challenges concerning data synchronization, scalability and performance, among others. By modelling these systems helps with solving these challenges, and there exists multiple tools for this. CPN Tools is one of these tools. CPN Tools is used for editing, simulating and analyzing Coloured Petri nets models. A need has been identified to devel- oped new software for develop new and up to date tools for editing, simulating and analyzing Coloured Petri nets to further development and fit the increasing need for distributed systems. Answering this need, a new simulating tool has been proposed. This thesis proposes an editor focusing on the modelling and visualization with the potentially integrate this simulator. This editor consists of an application running on Electron and using GoJS for modelling. This has resulted in a modelling tool for creating CPN models, with the possibility of increased abstraction of the models of the modern distributed systems.Masteroppgave i Programvareutvikling samarbeid med HVLPROG399MAMN-PRO
