On the Structure of Dependence Graphs

  • Chapter
Concurrency and Nets

Abstract

Dependence graphs (which are special kinds of acyclic directed node labeled graphs) are very fundamental objects in the theory of traces approach to concurrent systems and in the theory of graph grammars.

In this paper we characterize dependence graphs and naked dependence graphs — where a naked dependence graph is the unlabeled graph obtained from a dependence graph by removing its node labels.
