Abstract
A monoid of processes is the algebra <PR\(,\odot ,\theta > \) where PR is the set of all processes being a special form of c-e structures defined in Chap. 10, \(\theta \) is the neutral element for addition and multiplication of c-e structures (Proposition 2.1, Chap. 2) and \(\odot \) is a concatenation of processes, with \(\theta \) being a neutral for \(\odot \) too.
