Abstract
It is a general principle of software engineering to assemble small systems into larger ones. This process is called composition. Here we will consider the case of nets with interfaces. Two such nets can be joined together at their interfaces. Interfaces used for asynchronous, directed communication are an important special case. Such open nets are particularly natural: each Petri net can be broken down unambiguously into its set of smallest open nets.
