Abstract
A functional semantic modelling of Petri nets with individual tokens also called high level Petri nets is outlined. A denotational semantics for so-called high level Petri net components, i.e. nets that may contain ingoing and outgoing arcs, is given. An abstraction of the semantics is provided in terms of a predicative semantics. This semantics is modular in the sense that high level Petri net components can be composed by parallel composition and feedback in a way that the semantics of the composed net can be derived from the semantics of the net components.
