It is written in a vivid and entertaining manner, providing an in-depth discussion of the background behind Petri's best-known contribution to computer science, the Petri net. In this way the book can be read as a first introduction to nets, but it also covers the theoretical, physical and philosophical foundations behind nets, thus facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the wider range of Petri's works. The book is intended for readers with a previous knowledge in computer science, as well as for “interested non-professionals”, who want to get to know a remarkable personality of contemporary science.ComputersMathematicsPhilosophyHistory of Computinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24024Mathematics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M00009Philosophy, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E00003Theory of Computationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16005Computers.Mathematics.Philosophy.History of Computing.Mathematics, general.Philosophy, general.Theory of Computation.004.0151Smith Einarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut929067BOOK9910299254903321Carl Adam Petri2518647UNINA
