An approach to information system management based on relational databases and Petri net integration

In this paper the Information System management problem is considered, with special reference to the ones which model Flexible Manufacturing Systems. An approach based on Relational Databases and Petri net integration is presented: the former are used to represent passive and static information whereas the latter to model working processes of information inside the Information System. In the presented solution also Petri nets are modeled by means of relations in order to make totally homogeneous the whole Information System structure.
