Abstract

This paper is an attempt to investigate certain properties of concurrent systems on the basis of concurrency-like relations. Some general properties of simmetric and irreflexive relations have been stated. However, the result obtained here are not satisfatory — only properties of so simple nets as those which were used in the examples could be investigated without difficulties.

The author supposes that only precise definition of the concurrency relation may improve our understanding of the concurrency phenomena and would enable us to investigate any properties of concurrent systems.
