Popis: Algebraic Petri nets have been developed as a suitable formal method for concurrent and distributed systems in recent years. However, applications of algebraic Petri nets to non-trivial real-world systems are scarce. In this paper, we present an algebraic Petri net specification of an automatic teller machine system. The algebraic Petri net specification is systematically derived from an informal specification written in structured analysis methods by using a methodology developed in our earlier work. Our results in this paper: (1) demonstrated a feasible approach to construct algebraic Petri net specifications; (2) provided sufficient details for potential users to understand and use algebraic Petri nets through a non-trivial real-world system; and (3) established a baseline for meaningful comparisons of different formal methods.
