Abstract
The programmable Dynamic Petri Nets(DPN) can efficiently model interactive and iterative distributed multimedia presentations. However, the dynamic adaption of the presentation is not possible using isolated DPNs. This paper proposes the concept of communicating Dynamic Petri Nets (CDPN). The declaration and utilization of global variables and functions has been used in the paper to augment the existing DPNs with the communicating feature. There are several distributed systems that can be modeled using the proposed CDPN. In this paper a domain specific application illustrating the potential of CDPN to model adaptive e-learning system is presented.
