petrinets 2012 - 33rd International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency

The 33rd annual international Petri Net conference will take place in Hamburg from June 25th to 29th, 2012. The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
