Description

A solution for the control of service-oriented devices based on modular and special adapted High-Level Petri Nets (HLPN) process description of intra- and inter-control activities is presented. Each component of the architecture may be implemented independently and differently. The only requirement is that it should share its functions as services and obey to the protocols of communication and processes. The components comprehend the concepts of service-oriented systems, which have become simple, economical, widely available interaction means between information systems.
