But in spite of its importance, theoretical methods to handle concurrency are not yet sufficiently developed. This volume presents a comprehensive study of Mazurkiewicz' trace theory from an algebraic-combinatorial point of view. This theory is recognized as an important tool for a rigorous mathematical treatment of concurrent systems. The volume covers several different research areas, and contains not only known results but also various new results published nowhere else. \u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e introduces basic concepts. \u003cb\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/b\u003e gives a straight path to Ochmanski's characterization of recognizable trace languages and to Zielonka's theory of asynchronous automata. \u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e applies the theory of traces to Petri nets. A kind of morphism between nets is introduced which generalizes the concept of synchronization. \u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e provides a new bridge between the theory of string rewriting and formal power series. \u003cb\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/b\u003e is an introduction to a combinatorial theory of rewriting on traces which can be used as an abstract calculus for transforming concurrent processes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1990-09-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540530312\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/3-540-53031-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 233cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 174\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45369885163660,"sku":"9783540530312","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540530312.jpg?v=1773966116","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540530312","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
