This paper argues that basing the semantics of concurrent systems on the notions of state and state transitions is neither advisable nor necessary. The tendency to do this is deepl...
We present a coinductive proof system for bisimilarity in transition systems specifiable in the de Simone SOS format. Our coinduction is incremental, in that it allows building in...
An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
Defining operational semantics for a process algebra is often based either on labeled transition systems that account for interaction with a context or on the so-called reduction ...
Esterel is an imperative synchronous programming language for the specification of deterministic concurrent reactive systems. While providing the usual control-flow constructs--se...
