Abstract. We introduce a compositional characterization of the operational semantics of equational Horn programs. Then we show that this semantics and the standard operational sema...
Protocols are modular abstractions that capture patterns of interaction among agents. The compelling vision behind protocols is to enable creating customized interactions by refi...
We prove that a bounded stack can be specified in process algebra with just the operators alternative and sequential composition and iteration. The bounded bag cannot be specified ...
Recent years have seen a proliferation of 3-valued or capturing abstractions of systems, since these enable verifying both universal and existential properties. Reasoning about suc...
A previously introduced combination of the bialgebraic approach to structural operational semantics with aic modal logic is re-examined and improved in some aspects. Firstly, a mo...
