Architecture of PNML Framework

The design of this framework follows Model-Driven Engineering principles. It has been implemented using Eclipse Modelling Framework, and code generation tools.

The architecture is thus Eclipse-based. Each Petri nets type API is provided in a jar-packaged library. Utilities and third-party libraries are also provided in different jars.

Other languages (than Java) will be supported by next year.

You can have a closer look at the architecture on the component diagram available on the wiki. You will also find on the same page activity diagrams describing the import and export features of PNML models as handled by the framework.
