A probabilistic relational model and algebra
1996
ACM Transactions on Database Systems
We present a revised relational structure and extend the relational algebra. The extended algebra ]s shown to be closed. ...
Although the relational mode] for databases provides a great range of advantages over other data models, It lacks a comprehensive way to handle incomplete and uncertain data. ...

A probabilistic relational database model and algebra
2015
Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics
In addition, a set of the properties of the probabilistic relational algebraic operations in PRDB also are formulated and proven. ...
This paper introduces a probabilistic relational database model, called PRDB, for representing and querying uncertain information of objects in practice. ...
Such models are called probabilistic relational database models [3] [4] [5] [6] . Some models were built by extending each classical relation to a probabilistic relation as in [7, 8] . ...

A probabilistic relational model for the integration of IR and databases
1993
Proceedings of the 16th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '93
In this paper, a probabilistic relational model is presented which combines relational algebra with probabilistic retrieval. ...
Based on certain independence assumptions, the operators of the relational algebra are redefined such that the probabilistic algebra is a generalization of the standard relational algebra. ...

Models for Incomplete and Probabilistic Information
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We also introduce a new idea for the study of models that are not complete. Namely, we consider combining existing models with queries in various fragments of relational algebra. ...
We go beyond the problem of individual tuples in query answers by defining closure under a query language for probabilistic models. ...
We introduced the concept of algebraic completion and gave some results showing that extending weaker models by various fragments of the relational algebra yields complete models. ...

Abstraction in Probabilistic Process Algebra
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Motivation and main ideas In this work we treat the problem of abstraction in fully probabilistic process algebra and its semantics based on branching bisimulation. ...
we introduce veri cation rules in fully probabilistic process algebra that arise rather in a natural way from the one de ned in standard process algebra. ...
An equivalence relation R is a probabilistic branching bisimulation relation i :1. if (p; q) 2 R and p ; s then either i. ...

A probabilistic relational algebra for the integration of information retrieval and database systems
1997
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
We present a probabilistic relational algebra (PRA) which is a generalization of standard relational algebra. ...
With these features, PRA implements uncertainty and vagueness in combination with the relational model. ...
DESCRIPTION OF THE ALGEBRA In the following, we first describe the concepts of a probabilistic relation and a probabilistic database, and then we define the operators of the probabilistic relational algebra ...

Axiomatization of trace semantics for stochastic nondeterministic processes
2004
First International Conference on the Quantitative Evaluation of Systems, 2004. QEST 2004. Proceedings.
We give a complete axiomatization of trace distribution precongruence for probabilistic nondeterministic processes based on a process algebra that includes internal behavior and recursion. ...
The axiomatization is given for two different semantics of the process algebra that are consistent with the alternating model of Hansson and the non-alternating model of Segala, respectively. ...
We consider a process algebra with nondeterministic choice, probabilistic choice, and recursion, that is, an algebra that extends classical process algebras with just one new operator that models probability ...

A Framework for Management of Semistructured Probabilistic Data
2005
Journal of Intelligent Information Systems
Subrahmanian for helpful comments and the students working in the Bayesian Advisor group for their input at various stages, and their fabulous energy. ...
Instead of modeling uncertain information with relational models, Kornatzky and Shimony [13] developed a probabilistic object-oriented model to represent uncertain information based on a probabilistic ...
They provided a closed form query algebra and first introduced the conditionalization operation in the context of a probabilistic model. ...

Probabilistic Concurrent Kleene Algebra
2013
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
The algebra yields a unified framework containing nondeterminism, concurrency and probability and is sound with respect to the set of probabilistic automata modulo probabilistic simulation. ...
We use the resulting algebra to generalise the algebraic formulation of a variant of Jones' rely/guarantee calculus. ...
The equivalence relation is based on weak simulation and we are mainly interested in the equational theory of this model and relate it to the axiomatisation of probabilistic and concurrent Kleene algebras ...

Operator Algebras and the Operational Semantics of Probabilistic Languages
2006
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
We argue that C * -algebras, or more precisely Approximately Finite (or AF) algebras, provide a sufficiently rich mathematical structure for modelling probabilistic processes. ...
We show how to construct for a given probabilistic language a unique AF algebra A and how to represent the operational semantics of processes within this framework: finite computations correspond directly ...
We will show that probabilistic relations which are defined on (at most countable) infinite sets can be modelled via continuous linear operators, which represent the elements of a C * -algebra. ...

For example, in other probabilistic process algebras, bisimulation is treated in a non-probabilistic fashion, so that the following two processes are regarded as non-bisimular: [0.5]a.0 + [0.5]b.0 and ...
