Abstract

Optimal observability of continuous Petri Nets consists indeciding the places to be measured (considering that all aremeasurable) such that the net system is observable and a costfunction is minimal. Unfortunately this is not a simple coveringproblem. The results obtained in the paper are used in theimplementation of an algorithm to improve the pure combinatorialsearch.
