Abstract

The paper is concerned with processes of Petri nets. A partial operation on such processes is defined that allows one to concatenate processes whenever one process is a continuation of another. It is shown that for any Petri net as defined in the paper its set of processes equipped with this operation forms a category in which independence of processes can be characterized in a natural, purely algebraic way.
