Abstract

The state-space explosion obstructs Petri nets for large-scale system analysis. Net unfolding techniques have drawn considerable attention to solve this problem. However, existing techniques are not suitable for deadlock detection of unbounded Petri nets. To address this issue, this paper presents a deadlock detection-oriented unfolding (D2U) technique toward unbounded nets. D2U has the following advantages over traditional methods of solving deadlock detection problems: (1) Each configuration-corresponding cyclic or acyclic transition sequence in D2U is firable from the initial marking; (2) D2U can completely decide the existence of deadlocks when some conditions are met; and (3) D2U contains no spurious markings, unlike traditional unfolding techniques of unbounded Petri nets. The construction method and applications of D2U to deadlock detection of unbounded nets are presented.
