abstract = "Modern system-identification methodologies use
artificial neural nets, integer linear programming,
genetic algorithms, and swarm intelligence to discover
system models. Pairing genetic programming, a variation
of genetic algorithms,with Petri nets seems to offer an
attractive,alternative means to discover system
behaviour and structure. Yet to date, very little work
has examined this pairing of technologies. Petri nets
provide a grey-box model of the system, which is useful
for verifying system behaviour and interpreting the
meaning of operational data. Genetic programming
promises a simple yet robust tool to search the space
of candidate systems. Genetic programming is inherently
highly parallel. This paper describes early experiences
with genetic programming of Petri nets to discover the
best interpretation of operational data. The systems
studied are serial production lines with buffers.",
