Abstract

In this paper the unfolding technique is applied to coloured Petri nets (CPN) [6][7]. The technique is formally described, the definition of a branching process of CPN is given. The existence of the maximal branching process and the important properties of CPN’s unfoldings are proven. A new approach consisting in combining unfolding technique with symmetry and equivalence speci.cations [7] is presented and the important properties of obtained unfoldings are proven. We require CPN to be finite, n-safe and containing only finite sets of colours.
