Abstract: This paper presents the generalization to the coloured nets of the most efficient reductions defined by Berthelot. First, a generalization methodology is given that is independent from reduction one wants to generalize. Then based on that methodology, the author defines extensions of the implicit place transformation and the pre and post agglomeration of transitions. For each reduction it is proved that the reduced net has exatcly the same properties as the origianl net. Finally the author completely reduces an improved model of the data base management with multiple copies, thus showing ist correctness.
Keywords: reduction theory (for) coloured nets.
