Coloured Petri Nets and CPN Tools are now licensed to more than 6000 users in 130 different countries. The purpose of this event is to bring together some of the users and in this way provide a forum for those who are interested in the practical use of Coloured Petri Nets and CPN Tools.

The workshop takes place at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, and it is open for engineers, researchers and students at all levels. Aarhus is situated at the East coast of Jutland (the main land of Denmark). It is easily accessible by plane, train and car. The workshop will present a number of applications of Coloured Petri Nets and their tools. The programme will consist of:
  • Presentations of projects in which Coloured Petri Nets and CPN Tools have been put to practical use.
  • Presentations of improvements and extensions of CPN Tools.
  • Tutorials on new features of CPN Tools.
  • One or more sessions in which participants can give a brief presentation of one of their CPN models and get feedback from other participants and members of the CPN group.
  • Presentations of a number of new CPN projects at the University of Aarhus.


Submissions

We hereby solicit submissions for the workshop. Each submission should present a CPN project, a CPN Tools improvement/extension, or other materials relevant for the workshop. It must have the form of a 10-20 page paper, provided either as a PostScript file or a PDF document. Submissions should be sent to: CPNworkshop@daimi.au.dk before August 15, 2008.

The workshop proceedings will appear as a technical report of the Department of Computer Science, University of Aarhus. It will also be available in electronic form via the CPN web pages at the University of Aarhus. Finally, we plan to publish the best papers in a high-quality international journal (after an additional round of reviewing).

The submissions will be evaluated by an international programme committee with the following members:

Submissions for presentations of CPN models

As mentioned above there will be one or more sessions in which participants can give a brief presentation of one of their CPN models and get feedback from other participants and members of the CPN group. Submissions for presentation of CPN models should be sent to CPNworkshop@daimi.au.dk before October 1. They must contain a 3-5 page description of the modelling project (with a few typical modules from the model). The presentation at the conference can be combined with a poster or a short paper which will be distributed to the participants.
