Abstract
We investigate the concurrent behaviour of elementary net systems in terms of partial word languages. We obtain its definability by existential sentences of the monadic second order logic. The class of these languages of λ-free labeled EN systems is closed under conjunction, disjunction and projection but not under complementation. This implies that existential sentences of the considered logic do not necessarly define the behaviour of these EN systems. A similar study is made for unlabeled EN systems, too.
