Charles Lakos tries to show in one of his papers the natural evolution from CPNs to OPNs. The Paper is called "From Coloured Petri Nets to Object Petri Nets". @incollection{ lakos95from, author = "C. A. Lakos", title = "From Coloured {P}etri Nets to Object {P}etri Nets", booktitle = "Proceedings of the Application and Theory of Petri Nets 1995", volume = "935", publisher = "Springer-Verlag", address = "Berlin, Germany", pages = "278--297", year = "1995", url = "citeseer.nj.nec.com/lakos95from.html" } In this paper he introduces a different CPN formalism than Jensen in which multiple arcs are not allowed, melting them to a single arc that is inscripted with an expression of a multiset-type. Therefore places have multiset-types. However he does not change the definition of a token element regarding the contained tokens: (p,c) where p in P and c in C. Using his definition the "get" function cannot be evaluated for for an arc inscription like 2`a since it would evaluate to something like 2`(p,2`1) if a were bound to 1 but "get" should evaluate to a multiset of token elements. Changing the token element definition to c in C* would leave the problem of the definition of a marking... Does anybody work here with Lakos OPNs to help me with that issue? Thanks in advance, Stephan
