Zero-safe nets with debit tokens.
In Proceedings of the International Workshop on Concurrency,
Specification, and Programming (CS&P 2007), 2007.
In this contribution we study an extension of zero-safe nets that allows to model cooperation scenarios. Since zero-safe nets cannot be represented as finite nets in general, we study an extension of the firing rule having a close connection to blind counter automatons and the theory of semi-flows. As a main result we obtain, that a representation can always be given as a finite P/T net - although our firing rule is an extension of the original one - i.e. it preserves all the events that have been allowed before.
