Dear all, I am very happy to be able to tell you again (*) that
ISO/IEC 15909-2:2011: Systems and software engineering -- High-level Petri nets -- Part 2: Transfer format is now published as an ISO/IEC International Standard (see http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=43538). Thanks, again, to all the people who worked on it and contributed to it. I hope that the alphabetical list below is complete -- if I missed anyone, please accept my apologies (and tell me so that I can update the list): Joao Paulo Barros, Jean Bérubé, Jonathan Billington, Didier Buchs, Søren Christensen, Jörg Desel, Erik Fischer, Giuliana Franceschinis, Guillaume Giffo, Jun Ginbayashi, Lom M. Hillah, Kees van Hee, Nisse Husberg, Kurt Jensen, Matthias Jüngel, Sirko Karras, Albert Koelmans, Fabrice Kordon, Olaf Kummer, Kjeld Høyer Mortensen, Laure Petrucci, Reinier Post, Wolfgang Reisig, Stefan Roch, Karsten Wolf, Christian Stehno, Yann Thierry-Mieg, Nicolas Trèves, Kimmo Varpaaniemi, Michael Weber, Lisa Wells, Jan Martijn van der Werf, and Lukasz Zogolowek. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to make a copy of that standard freely available for copyright reasons (I do not even have an electronic copy of the final version myself). But, we had a paper at the CPN workshop in 2009 in Aarhus, were you can find the most important information on ISO/IEC 15909-2. You will find that paper at: http://cs.au.dk/fileadmin/site_files/cs/research_areas/centers_and_projects/cpn/paper06.pdf Together with the more technical information (like the RELAX/NG grammars) at the PNML home page (see http://www.pnml.org/), this should provide you with a fairly good understanding of the standard. The CPN 09 paper was also published in the autumn 2009 issue of the Petri Net Newsletter (Volume 76, p.9). If you have any further questions, please, feel free to ask. There is also an email address for dicussions and questions on PNML or for contacting the people working on the Standard (there are more parts to come). See http://www.pnml.org/people.php for details. (*) NOTE: Some of you might remember that I had sent a very similar email in Nov. 2009 already, when ISO/IEC 15909-2 was published for the first time. But, due to an Australian appeal, the standard was removed from the web pages of published ISO/IEC standards again; in order to resolve the appeal, ISO/IEC made the unusual decision to have another final ballot on this standard, which was finished now with another positive outcome. This is why it now got the publication date of 2011. Sorry for any confusion. Except for some few and minor editorial changes, the content of the version from 2009 and the 2011 version are identical.
