Abstract

<p>This paper recalls the concept of occurrence graphs with permuta- tion symmetries (OS-graphs) for Coloured Petri Nets. It is explained how so-called self-symmetries can help to speed up construction of OS- graphs. The contribution of the paper is to suggest a new method for calculation of self-symmetries, the Backtrack Method. The method is based on the so-called Backtrack Algorithm, which originates in com- putational group theory. The suggestion of the method is justified, both by identifying an important general complexity property and by obtaining encouraging experimental performance measures.</p><p><strong>Topics.</strong> Coloured Petri Nets, reduced state spaces, occurrence graphs with permutation symmetries, self-symmetries, computational group theory, backtrack searches.</p>
