We investigate classes of systems based on different interaction patterns with the aim of achieving distributability. As our system model we use Petri nets. In Petri nets, an inherent concept of simultaneity is built in, since when a…
The execution of an event in a complex and distributed system where the dependencies vary during the evolution of the system can be represented in many ways, and one of them is to use Context-Dependent Event structures. Event structures are…
Many categorical frameworks have been proposed to formalize the idea of gluing Petri nets with each other. Such frameworks model net gluings in terms of sharing of resources or synchronization of transitions. Interpretations given to these…
We argue first that translational invariant Matrix Product can be interpreted as a stationary sea of particles. Next, rather than starting from some local Hamiltonian with random potentials, we consider fluctuations of the local tensors of…
Reversible computation is an unconventional form of computing that extends the standard forward-only mode of computation with the ability to execute a sequence of operations in reverse at any point during computation. As such, in this…
The behaviour of electrical networks can be described with many different representations, each with their distinct benefits. In this paper, we consider Z, Y, G, H, ABCD, S and T parameters. Formulas exist to go from one representation to…
This paper exploits extended Bayesian networks for uncertainty reasoning on Petri nets, where firing of transitions is probabilistic. In particular, Bayesian networks are used as symbolic representations of probability distributions,…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
This is an investigation of the role of shuffling and concatenating in the theory of graph drawing. A simple syntactic description of these and related operations is proved complete in the context of finite partial orders, as general as…
Objects' rigid motions in 3D space are described by rotations and translations of a highly-correlated set of points, each with associated $x,y,z$ coordinates that real-valued networks consider as separate entities, losing information.…
Petri nets and their variants are often considered through their interleaved semantics, i.e. considering executions where, at each step, a single transition fires. This is clearly a miss, as Petri nets are a true concurrency model. This…
Given a unitary operator in a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space, its unitary reduction to a subspace is defined. The application to quantum graphs is discussed. It is shown how the reduction allows to generate the scattering matrices…
String diagrams are pictorial representations for morphisms of symmetric monoidal categories. They constitute an intuitive and expressive graphical syntax, which has found application in a very diverse range of fields including concurrency…
We give an elementary explicit construction of cell decomposition of the moduli space of projective structures on a two dimensional surface analogous to the decomposition of Penner/Strebel for moduli space of complex structures. The…
We classify all additive invariants of open Petri nets: these are $\mathbb{N}$-valued invariants which are additive with respect to sequential and parallel composition of open Petri nets. In particular, we prove two classification theorems:…
Event structures have emerged as a foundational model for concurrent computation, explaining computational processes by outlining the events and the relationships that dictate their execution. They play a pivotal role in the study of key…
A notable property of word embeddings is that word relationships can exist as linear substructures in the embedding space. For example, $\textit{gender}$ corresponds to $\vec{\textit{woman}} - \vec{\textit{man}}$ and $\vec{\textit{queen}} -…
We propose a framework for the specification of behaviour-preserving reconfigurations of systems modelled as Petri nets. The framework is based on open nets, a mild generalisation of ordinary Place/Transition nets suited to model open…
In this talk we are concerned with the intrinsic similarities and differences between Petri nets on the one hand, and membrane systems and reaction systems on the other hand.
A Petri net is choice-free if any place has at most one transition in its postset (consuming its tokens) and it is (extended) free-choice (EFC) if the postsets of any two places are either equal or disjoint. Asymmetric choice (AC) extends…
