Abstract: In this paper we develop an algebraic/categorical theory of bisimulations using relational methods. We define a general notion, which is capable of handeling different version of bisimilarity in a common context. Furthermore, the approach relates bisimulations with the notion of a covering known from the theory of graphs and their applications in topology and complex analysis.
