Cover of the book

"Generalized Net Modelling of University Processes" is a book by Anthony Shannon, Krassimir Atanassov, Daniela Langova-Orozova, Maciej Krawczak, Evdokia Sotirova, Pedro Melo-Pinto, Ilias Petrounias, Taekyun Kim published in 2005 year by KvB Institute of Technology under ISBN 0-9578457-5-8.

The purpose of the book is to show how generalized nets can be used to model the administrative and academic functions of electronic information processing and exchanges within a university.

While software exists for the processes in each section of the monograph, it is difficult to integrate them all, particularly when new applications are added piece by piece. This total integration can be achieved with GN models as the theoretical basis for development. Then the academic needs of staff and students can be linked appropriately with the administrative requirements of a modern university.

The chapters of the books are divided into sections, all but one of which are composed of three subsections:

  • an introduction which outlines the purpose of the section,
  • followed by a sub-section in which the pertinent generalized net is constructed, and
  • a conclusion which comments on the main aspects of the model.

The first GN constructed for this purpose aims to optimize the information processes in general. This leads into two streams:

  • Administration
    • Finance
    • Logistics
    • Storage and supply of goods and services
    • Storage and retrieval of information
  • Academic
    • Electronic learning and training
    • Assessment
    • Internet forum
    • Electronic mail

There are also two appendices which provide outline summaries of:
