Abstract: In the first part of this paper a modeling language is presented for the design and evaluation of heterogeneous systems which are comprised of components with different characteristics, e.g. control-dominated parts and data or material flow dominated parts. The language consists of a class of high level time Petri nets, augmented with object-oriented mechanisms. It is formal, ensuring unambiguous specification, it supports a high level of analysis and it is general enough to support other more specialized formalisms. The second part presents some of our experiences in the application of this language to a real world modeling task in an industrial setting.
