International audienceIn this paper, we study two operators for composing combinatorial classes: the ordered product and its dual, the colored product. These operators have a natural interpretation in terms of Analytic Combinatorics, in relation with combinations of Borel and Laplace transforms. Based on these new constructions, we exhibit a set of transfer theorems and closure properties. We also illustrate the use of these operators to specify increasingly labeled structures tightly related to Series-Parallel constructions and concurrent processes. In particular, we provide a quantitative analysis of Fork/Join (FJ) parallel processes, a particularly expressive example of such a class
