Abstract

The aim of this work is to deepen into the structure theory of Place/Transition net systems. In particular, it considers well-formedness (i.e. structural liveness and boundedness) of Equal Conflict net systems, a class which generalises the well-known (Extended) Free Choice allowing weights but keeping the total autonomy of conflicts. This contribution, together with [18, 19, 20, 21], shows that many results that were known for some subclasses of ordinary Petri nets can be extended to non ordinary nets. For this purpose, some important classical concepts are re-defined, namely components and allocatability.
