Abstract

In this paper we introduce a truly concurrent semantics for P/T nets with inhibitor and read arcs, called henceforth Contextual P/T nets. The semantics is based on a proper extension of the notion of process to cope with read and inhibitor arcs: we show that most of the properties enjoined by the classical process semantics for P/T nets continue to hold and we substantiate the adequateness of our notion by comparing it with the step semantics.
