Studying MANET through a Petri Net-Based Model

Several problems related to communication among Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) devices can be faced making use of formal models. Among these, Petri Nets are particularly suitable for modeling dynamic and transitional systems. The tool DEMONE models the behavior of each host in a MANET through a Petri Nets extension, so that it allows the analysis of some interesting computational activities and the study of performance of the modeled MANET.
