A Polynomial Translation of Pi-calculus (FCP) to Safe Petri Nets (2012)

Author(s): Meyer R, Khomenko V, Hüchting R

    Abstract: We develop a polynomial translation from finite control processes (an important fragment of pi-calculus) to safe low-level Petri nets. To our knowledge, this is the first such translation. It is natural (there is a close correspondence between the control flow of the original specification and the resulting Petri net), enjoys a bisimulation result, and it is suitable for practical model checking.
