The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management - van der Aalst (ResearchIndex) is probably what I'd call the starting-point in your journey through CiteSeer to accumulate knowledge of Petri nets.
Brett Morgan had asked that I produce references to the papers I read to go from zero to Petri in 2 days.
Overall, W.M.P. van der Aalst seems to be the shinig light in the world of Petri nets for workflow systems.
For what it's worth, petridish supports coloured petrinets, but werkflow does not take advantage of them. Werkflow has exactly one colour of token flowing through the network: bare java.lang.Object
s.
Anyhow, Brett and others, start with that paper and explore CiteSeer. Aalst is The Man.
(One of his papers was also recommended by a commentor).
