What is it about?
The development of a system model can be an extremely complex process. A common approach to modeling system behavior uses activity diagrams (AD) in Unified Modeling Language (UML), which, however, do not support the formal analysis that is possible when using formal languages such as Petri Nets (PN). In this paper, we show how a model describing an experiment in a Virtual Laboratory and represented by an AD can be transformed into an equivalent PN. Then, the model represented as a PN can be readily compared to a model of a similar experiment used in another educational setting, in order to decide the extent to which it can be reused
