Abstract
The paper investigates different relationships between membrane systems and Petri nets by focusing on modelling variants of the producer/consumer paradigm. Two models of producer/consumer systems based on membrane systems are described, and it is shown how to translate these models into equivalent Petri nets with a corresponding semantics. It is then observed a direct correspondence between the Petri nets representation of the proposed models and standard solutions based on Petri nets already present in the literature.
