In a seminal paper Montanari and Meseguer showed that an algebraic interpretation of Petri nets in terms of commutative monoids can be used to provide an elegant characterisation o...
Abstract. High-Level net models following the paradigm “nets as tokens” have been studied already in the literature with several interesting applications. In this paper we prop...
Petri Place/Transition (PT) nets are one of the most widely used models of concurrency. However, they still lack, in our view, a satisfactory semantics: on the one hand the "...
The algebraic models of computation for contextual nets that have been proposed in the literature either rely on a non-free monoid of objects, or introduce too many fictitious beh...
Building conversation protocols has traditionally been an art more than a science, as their construction is often guided by designers’ intuition rather than by a principled appro...
