Abstract
This paper presents PROTOB, an object-oriented CASE system based on high level Petri nets called PROT nets. It consists of several tools supporting object oriented specification, symbolic computation, code generation within the framework of an automation oriented software life cycle paradigm. As its major application area it addresses distributed systems, such as real-time embedded systems, communication protocols and manufacturing control systems.
