The purpose of the paper is to compare timed and time Petri nets with constraint satisfaction problems and activity-on-arc graphs in the context of manufacturing. It is shown that constraints are not defined in the same way but that timed and time Petri nets could be translated into a set of activity-on-arc graphs.
