Abstract

A Petri net (PN) is used for business process analysis (BP) purposes to later refine it and serve as the basis for the implementation of the real process. It is clear that to achieve this it is necessary to establish the activities, input requirements and outputs of the BP, which are defined in its description. Unlike other modeling tools, PNs have the advantage that they allow the representation of events by combining graphical visualization with an underlying mathematical notation.

A feature required by Petri nets is the ability to export PNs to other tools and to import them from other tools. The author has created an algorithm that converts the text of a business process description into a Petri net (import), it has been programmed in Python. This article describes the operation of the aforementioned algorithm.
