Abstract: The paper presents a case study of using the object-oriented Petri nets (OOPNs) associated with the language and tool PNtalk to model a non-trivial distributed software system, namely a cooperative editor of hierarchical diagrams. In the paper there is developed an object model of (a key part of) the editor, which is subsequently transformed into an OOPN. After some refinement, the obtained model should further serve for evaluating the tools being developed for simulating, prototyping, and formally analysing and verifying distributed systems by means of PNtalk OOPNs.
