Abstract
In this paper, colored Petri Nets with changeable structures (CPN-CS) are d efined. The mechanisms used for carrying out the structure changes include change-by-modification (CBM) and change-by-composition (CBC). CBM is for mo dification of the structure of the current CPN model while CBC is for the c omposition of another CPN into the current CPN. A case study is provided to show that CPN-CS is effective for modeling one-of-a-kind production (OKP) system that is characterized by product design uncertainty and changes in r esource availability.
