Petri Net Modelling and Simulation in AnyLogic and MATLAB for ARGESIM Benchmark C4 'Dining Philosophers'

Abstract. To analyse the ‘Dining Philosophers’ comparison Petri Net models are used and implemented in two different libraries based on the simulation environments, MATLAB and AnyLogic are used. Different strategies are investigated to solve this logical problem. Therefore the visualisation in the used MATLAB library is very helpful but the easy application of the AnyLogic library allows a fast adaption and testing of different strategies.
