How to Publish Your Own Design/CPN Examples

We strongly encourage Design/CPN users to contribute to the Design/CPN WWW pages by publishing their own CPN models - so that they can be shared with other users. Only full CPN models which are operative in the current version of the Design/CPN tool will be accepted for publication.

Please look at some of our existing examples and try to make your contribution in a format and style that matches as much as possible. To publish your CPN model, we need to obtain the following from you in machine readable form.

  • The text to be included in the Abstract.
  • A description which can be used for the Explanation document. This may contain text and figures (e.g. some pages from your CP-net). Unless already included, we will add a copy of all pages in your model to the explanation. The explanation can take many different forms, e.g., a research/journal paper. We accept the following kind of files: Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) or Postscript files. (Actually we accept file formats which, in a few steps, can be converted to PDF files. Thus Microsoft Word and LaTeX files are also accepted.)
  • The Design/CPN files for your CPN model. We do not need the ML file, but we need all other files which are needed to syntax check and switch the model. If the files are for a Mac we will (usually) produce a Unix version as well (the opposite is unfortunately not possible).
We prefer to get an e-mail with the files mentioned above. If this is not possible you may send us a 3.5 diskette (for Mac or IBM PC). In both cases please include detailed information about all your files (e.g., contents, creation program, version, hardware platform, method of compression).

If you have any problems or questions, please contact the maintainers of these pages for further information.
