Using the CD + + DEVS Tookit to Develop Petri Nets

We describe an implementation where mapping of the Petri Net (PN) modeling formalism into the DEVS modeling formalism was used for the purpose of simulating PNs using a DEVS simulator. The focal point of the paper is a description of the DEVS atomic models used to model PN transitions and places along with a description of PN simulation results obtained using an unmodified DEVS simulator.
