  LOOPN 
 
  simulation,  Petri  net>  A  {compiler},  {simulator}, 
  and  associated  {source}  control  for  an  {object-oriented} 
  {Petri  net}  language  developed  by  Charles  Lakos 
    at  the  {University  of 
  Tasmania}.  In  LOOPN,  a  Petri  net  is  an  extension  of  a 
  {coloured  timed  Petri  net}.  The  extension  means  firstly  that 
  token  types  are  {class}es.  In  other  words  they  consist  of 
  both  data  fields  and  functions,  they  can  be  declared  by 
  inheriting  from  other  token  types,  and  they  can  be  used 
  {polymorphic}ally.  The  object-oriented  extensions  also  mean 
  that  module  or  subnet  types  are  classes. 
 
  LOOPN  has  been  developed  over  a  period  of  about  five  years  at 
  the  University  of  Tasmania,  where  it  has  been  used  in  teaching 
  computer  simulation  and  the  modelling  of  {network} 
  {protocols}.
