Summary:
Petri net is an effective model for concurrent systems. Batch Petri net is one of Turing machine equivalent extended classes. Number of tokens moved by a firing of transition through batch processing arcs equals to the minimum number of tokens among its input places connected with batch processing arcs. This paper studies reachability problem of batch state machines, a subclass of batch Petri net. Computational complexity is shown to be NP-hard. Sufficient conditions for reachability are derived.
