Modeling uncertainties involved with software development. Petri nets pn 1,2,3, in their various shapes and sizes, have been used for the study of the qualitative properties of systems exhibiting concurrency and synchronization characteristics. On the other hand, biological pathways can be observed as hybrid systems.
