基于逻辑Petri网和对齐的模型修复方法

基于逻辑Petri网和对齐的模型修复方法摘要：Petri网已被广泛用于建立系统模型，并被认为是一种直观、形式化且易于理解的工具。但是，在实际使用中，Petri网存在着一些问题，如死锁、活锁、资源争用等。因此，如何修复Petri网中存在的这些问题是一个重要的问题。

本文提出了一种基于逻辑Petri网和对齐的模型修复方法。该方法首先将Petri网表达为逻辑公式，然后构造它的对偶图，并利用对齐算法来比较Petri网与其对偶图之间的差异。接着，引入一个额外的自动机来表示系统行为，并将自动机状态映射到逻辑Petri网状态中。在此基础上，利用对齐算法来比较自动机与逻辑Petri网之间的差异，进而得到需要修复的Petri网结构。

本文对该方法的有效性进行了验证，并在不同规模的Petri网上得到了良好的修复效果。此外，该方法还可以处理多种Petri网问题，如资源争用、活锁和死锁等问题。
