They not only describe the actions agents may perform when in a given state, but also say which parts of the agents move when the global state changes. From the transition relation a particular Petri Net, namely a Condition/Event system called {\ensuremath{\Sigma}}CCS, is immediately derived. Our construction gives a semantics which is consistent with the interleaving semantics of CCS and exhibits full parallelism. The proof consists of relating the case graph of {\ensuremath{\Sigma}}CCS with the original and with the multiset (step) transition systems of the calculus. }, url = {http://eprints.imtlucca.it/384/} }
