The category of monoid actions in Cpo

In this paper, some categorical properties of the category ${bf Cpo}_{{bf Act}text{-}S}$ of all {cpo $S$-acts}, cpo''s equipped with actions of a monoid $S$ on them, and strict continuous action-preserving maps between them is considered. In particular, we describe products and coproducts in this category, and consider monomorphisms and epimorphisms. Also, we show that the forgetful functor from ${bf Cpo}_{{bf Act}text{-}S}$ to the category of cpo''s has both a left and a right adjoint.
