UML/PNO: A Way to Merge UML and Petri Net Objects for the Analysis of Real-Time Systems

Since the Object Oriented paradigm is attractive for the development of traditional systems (i.e. transformational or reactive), it may give interesting solutions for Real-Time Systems (RTS). We developed our own methodology HOOD/PNO for RTS. The main features of HOOD/PNO [1][2][3] are the use of Petri Nets combined with HOOD [4] approach.
