In April 2005 this site has moved from Aarhus to Hamburg. Before that time the site was hosted and maintained by the CPN group in Aarhus. We would like to thank the CPN group for their great work maintaining this site and the mailing list!

In particular we would like to thank Kjeld H. Mortensen, the former maintainer of the Petri Nets World site, who helped us with all our problems while transfering this site and quickly answerd all our questions - even if it was deep night. Thank you, Kjeld! :)
