Abstract

The paper aims at establishing the semantical background for extending Petri net formalisms with an object-oriented approach by bringing together Nested Petri Nets (NP-nets) of Lomazova and Linear Logic Petri nets (LLPNs) of Farwer. An introductory example shows the capabilities of these formalisms and motivates the proposed interencoding of two-level NP-nets and LLPNs. A conservative extension to the Linear Logic calculus of Girard is proposed— Distributed Linear Logic. This extension of Linear Logic gives a natural semantical background for multi-level arbitrary token nets.
