摘要
Workflow net is a particular class of Petri net for verifying the correctness of workflows. Reachability problem for workflow nets plays an important role in the verification, but the problem is known to be intractable. Limiting our analysis to a subclass of workflow net, called acyclic well-structured workflow net, we gave a necessary and sufficient condition on the reachability problem. Based on this condition, we also constructed a polynomial time procedure for solving the problem.
