The last time extension of Petri nets introduced in this book are Petri nets with retention time on places and we show ways to analyze them. They were first devised as a formal specification technique for designing complex automaton systems. Most important for this application are the possibilities for system diagnostics, namely error detection, localization, evaluation, recognition and reaction. It is important to minimize the total time needed for the internal diagnostic process of the system; considering only the causal relationships between events is therefore not sufficient.
