Summary
The concept of sequential systems is a mathematical notion for arbitrary systems which excludes parallelism. It has been used by the author for modelling for example a system modularization concept.
In this paper we describe that system concept and the system construction concept, which corresponds to the development of programs by stepwise refinement. A system on a refinement level is called a realization of a version preceding it in the construction process, the latter an abstraction or a simulation of the former. We hope that this concept will have useful applications in simulation theory.
