Professor Tadao Murata of the University of Illinois Chicago was presented the Carl Adam Petri Distinguished Technical Achievement Award at the Society for Design & Process Science (SDPS) Workshop held in Kusadasi, Turkey, from September 4 through 6, 2000.
This award was established by the SDPS to honor the German computer scientist Carl Adam Petri, whose 1962 dissertation became the origin of the research field of Petri nets and their applications to concurrent information technology systems.
Professor Murata was selected as the first recipient of the award based on his many significant contributions to the field for the past 26 years. The award includes a plaque with the citation: “In recognition of distinguished and meritorious achievement in the development and application of scientific knowledge to the solution of complex technical and organizational problems.”
