BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-85-1048 ENTRY:: May 01, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Some constructions for order-theoretic models of concurrency TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Pratt, Vaughan DATE:: March 1985 PAGES:: 20 ABSTRACT:: We give "tight" and "loose" constructions suitable for specifying processes represented as sets of pomsets (partially ordered multisets). The tight construction is suitable for specifying "primitive" processes; it introduces the dual notions of concurrence and orthocurrence. The loose construction specifies a process in terms of a net of communicating subprocesses; it introduces lhe notion of a utilization embedding a process in a net.
