Applications of Generalized Nets (World Scientific)

"Applications of Generalized Nets" is a book on generalized nets, edited by Krassimir Atanassov and published by World Scientific Publishing House in 1993 under ISBN 981-02-0667-4. It is a continuation of the book "Generalized Nets" published in 1991 by World Scientific, containing the theoretical results in the area by this moment.

In the beginning of the book three new theoretical results, obtained between 1991 and 1993, are included. The rest four chapters contain almost all of the papers on applications of generalized nets over processes in various fields of knowledge and practice. Three appendices, authored by the editor, are added in the end of the book.
