Call for Papers:

47th International Conference on

Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency

[Petri Nets 2026]

Hamburg, Germany, June 22-26, 2026

https://conf-2026.petrinet.net

 

On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Carl Adam Petri, the Petri Net Conference 2026

will take place in Hamburg, at the university where Petri held an honorary professorship.

Therefore, contributions that include a historical perspective are particularly welcome.

 

We seek papers presenting original research on the application or theory of Petri nets,

as well as contributions addressing concurrent systems more broadly, or

applications of concurrency to system design.

 

Topics specific to Petri Nets

 

* Analysis and synthesis, structure and behaviour of nets

* System design and model-driven development using nets

* Relationships between Petri nets and other approaches

* Net-based semantical, logical and algebraic calculi,

* Higher-level net models (coloured nets, timed nets, etc.)

* Stochastic net models

* Verification and model checking using nets

* Process discovery and conformance checking

* Computer tools for nets 

* Standardisation of nets

* Experience reports describing applications of nets to various domains

 

General Topics related to Concurrency

 

* Application of concurrency to system design

* Model checking and verification of distributed systems

* Verification of infinite-state or parametric systems

* Causality/partial order theory of concurrency

* Educational issues related to concurrency

* New developments in the theory of concurrency

* Modelling of hardware and biological systems

 

Important dates

 

Abstract submission: January 14, 2026

Paper submission: January 21, 2026

Notification: March 8, 2026

Final version due: March 22, 2026

Workshops and Tutorials: June 22–23, 2026

Main Conference: June 24–26, 2026

 

Paper Submission

 

Two kinds of papers can be submitted:

 

Regular papers (max. 20 pages excluding references) describing original results

pertaining to the development of the theory of Petri nets and distributed and

concurrent systems in general, new results extending the applicability of Petri nets,

or case studies, application and experience reports pertinent to the practical use

of Petri nets and concurrency.

 

Tool papers (max. 10 pages excluding references) describing a computer tool based on

Petri nets (not an application of the tool or the theory behind the tool).

The tool should be available for use by other groups (but not necessarily for free).

The submission should indicate how the reviewers can get access to the tool

(this must be free). The tool will be demonstrated at the Tool Exhibition.

 

Submissions must use the Springer LNCS format and include line numbers

(use the "lineno"-LATEX package:

https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).

Submit via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=petrinets2026.

 

 

Workshops, Courses, Tutorials and Tools

 

The main conference will take place from Wednesday, June 24 to Friday, June 26.

The two days before the main conference also offer a wide range of activities.

The Petri Net Course takes place from Monday June 22 to Tuesday June 23.

It offers a thorough introduction to Petri nets in half-day and full-day modules.

Detailed descriptions of workshops and tutorials will be made available via the

conference website. An exhibition of Petri net tools will take place on

Thursday, June 25. It consists of informal demonstrations for small groups/individuals,

and there are no scheduled talks.
