Abstract

Equivalence notions capture interesting behavioural properties of a system. Functional equivalences of Petri nets are state based equivalence notions that allow to compare systems with a different action level of detail. We introduce a functional equivalence on Petri nets suited for hierarchic modular system design and investigate correct transformation rules.
