One of the main benefits of object-orientation is the conceptof inheritance which allows for the derivation of newtypes/classes from existing ones. Within commonly usedobject-oriented languages inheritance is usually directed toattributes and method signatures, only. Considering languagesproviding means for the specification of object lifecycles, the concept of inheritance needs to be extended to beable to cover not only static but also behavioural aspects.This article introduces a set of requirements for the modelingand inheritance of object behaviour. Based on a shortsurvey of existing work a new approach is introduced, whichis suited to be used with a class of object-oriented Petri-Nets.
