We are working on a related problem. It seems that it is necessary to work
with
a relaxed notion of category, namely where the compostion of
f:a->b and g:b->c is not always defined. You should look at relaxed
notions of category such as composition graphs, paracategories,
precategories
and the like.
On our own preliminary results look at the working paper
P. Mateus, A. Sernadas and C. Sernadas. Combining Probabilistic Automata:
Categorial Characterization. Research Report, April 1998. Presented at the
FIREworks Meeting, Magdeburg, May 15-16, 1998
