Carl Adam Petri (12 July 1926 in Leipzig – 2 July 2010 in Siegburg)[2][3] was a German mathematician and computer scientist.
Life and work
Petri created his major scientific contribution, the concept of the Petri net, in 1939 at the age of 13, for the purpose of describing chemical processes.[4] In 1941, his father told him about Konrad Zuse's work on computing machines and Carl Adam started building his own analog computer.
After earning his
Petri started studying mathematics at the Technische Hochschule Hannover (today, the
In 1988, Petri became honorary professor of the University of Hamburg.[6] He was a member of the Academia Europaea.
Petri's work significantly advanced the fields of parallel computing and distributed computing, and it helped define the modern studies of complex systems and workflow management systems. His contributions have been in the broader area of network theory, which includes coordination models and theories of interaction, and eventually led to the formal study of software connectors.
