    There has been recently a growing interest in probabilistic models for
    systems involoving concurrency.  Such models are useful in various
    application areas, such as model checking and analysis of randomised
    protocols in general.
   
    Among the various models of probabilistic Petri nets, or event
    structures, found in the literature, very few jointly consider
    probability and concurrency.  In particular, the randomisation of runs
    modulo interleaving has been studied little (Volzer, Varacca,
    Benveniste).  This is the basis of Markov nets.
   
    The talk shows that geometric properties of occurrence nets and event
    structures have probabilistic counterparts, with full meaning w.r.t.
    concurrency.  In particular, parallel processes are independent in the
    probabilistic sense.  We will describe the randomisation and discuss
    some applications.
