This volume contains the proceedings of the 14th
International Conference onApplication and Theory of Petri
Nets. The aim of the Petri net conferences is to create a
forum for discussing progress in the application and theory
of Petri nets. Typically, the conferences have 150-200
participants, one third of whom come from industry, while
the rest are from universities and research institutes.
The volume includes three invited papers, "Modeling and
enactment of workflow systems" (C.A. Ellis, G.J. Nutt),
"Interleaving functional and performance structural analysis
of net models" (M. Silva), and "FSPNs: fluid stochastic
Petri nets" (K.S. Trivedi, V.G. Kulkarni), together with 26
full papers (selected from 102 submissions) and 6 project
papers.
