Conference Overview
============================================

The aim of the "International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" is to create a forum for discussing progress in the application and theory of Petri nets. This conference is the major event for the Petri nets community and a major event in formal methods field. Typically, the conference have 100-150 participants. Some of these coming from industry, the rest from universities and research institutions.
The conference takes place in the last week of June.

The 30th edition of this international Petri Net conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS and GI SIG "Petri Nets and Related System Models" and
will be organized by the MeFoSyLoMa group that involves:

  + Universite P. & M. Curie - LIP6 (main organizer)
  + Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers - Cedric
  + Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan - LSV
  + Universite d'Evry Val d'Essone - IBISC
  + Universite Paris Dauphine - LAMSADE
  + Universite Paris 12 - LACL
  + Universite Paris 13 - LIPN
  + Telecom ParisTech - LTCI

The conference takes place from Wednesday to Friday. The days before the
conference also offer a large variety of Petri net activities. Tutorials are offered to participants who have little or no prior experience with Petri nets. The talks give an overview of the area, and they will help new- comers to
understand the basic ideas in many of the conference contributions. The
Workshops and Advanced Tutorials are offered to those who already have some
knowledge of Petri nets. They are divided into several strands covering
different subjects. A detailed description of the tutorials and workshops will
be available via the conference web pages.

It will be also possible to arrange meetings for different groups, e.g.,
participants in international Petri net projects. It will also be possible to arrange small educational courses, e.g., with respect to some of the Petri net
tools.

An exhibition of Petri net tools is also planned. It consists of informal demonstrations for small groups/individuals, and there are no scheduled talks.
