Abstract
We present Petri nets with time windows (tw-PN) where each place is associated with an interval (window). Every token which arrives at a place gets a real-valued clock which shows its age. A transition can fire when all needed tokens are old enough. When a token reaches an age equal to the upper bound of the place where it is situated, the token's age, i.e., clock will be reset to zero. Following this we compare these time dependent Petri nets with their (timeless) skeletons. The sets of both their reachable markings are equal, their liveness behaviour is different, and neither is equivalent to Turing machines. We also prove the existence of runs where time gaps are possible in the tw-PN, which is an extraordinary feature.
