Other Remarks

Netlab is a Petri net tool developed since the late 1980's at the Institute of Automatic Control (Institut f’r Regelungstechnik) at Aachen University (RWTH Aachen), Germany. At present, the source code is developed in C++.

Netlab is used in research and education at Aachen University and unfortunately (for international users) it is equipped with a German user interface and documentation only.
