An Axiomatization of the Algebra of Petri Net Concatenable Processes

An Axiomatization of the Algebra of Petri Net Concatenable Processes
The concatenable processes of a Petri net $N$ can be characterized abstractly as the arrows of a symmetric monoidal category $Pn(N)$. However, this is only a partial axiomatization, since it is based on a concrete, ad hoc chosen, category of symmetries $Sym_N$. In this paper we give a completely abstract characterization of the category of concatenable processes of $N$, thus yielding an axiomatic theory of the noninterleaving behaviour of Petri nets.

Abstract

The concatenable processes of a Petri net $N$ can be characterized abstractly as the arrows of a symmetric monoidal category $Pn(N)$. However, this is only a partial axiomatization, since it is based on a concrete, ad hoc chosen, category of symmetries $Sym_N$. In this paper we give a completely abstract characterization of the category of concatenable processes of $N$, thus yielding an axiomatic theory of the noninterleaving behaviour of Petri nets.
