A Symbolic Semantics and Bisimulation for Full Lotos
[chapter]
Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
A symbolic semantics for Full LOTOS in terms of symbolic transition systems is defined; the semantics extends the (infinitely branching) standard semantics by giving meaning to data parameterised behaviours ...
, and provides a finitely branching representation for behaviours. ...
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Savi Maharaj for useful input on the definition of bisimulation, and Ed Brinksma for many fruitful discussions on reasoning about LOTOS. ...

Symbolic bisimulation for Full LOTOS
[chapter]
1997
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A symbolic semantics for Full LOTOS in terms of symbolic transition systems is de ned, following the approach taken for message passing CCS in HL95a], altered to take account of the particular features ...
Symbolic bisimulation over symbolic transition systems is de ned, and symbolic bisimulation on ground behaviour expressions is shown to preserve the usual concrete (strong) bisimulation on the standard ...
For the logic, we hypothesise that the logic given above is adequate with respect to symbolic bisimulation on nite processes, but have not yet proved this. ...

pNets: An Expressive Model for Parameterised Networks of Processes
2015
2015 23rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing
Concerning more fundamental aspects, we define a strong bisimulation theory specifically for the pNet model, prove its properties, and illustrate it on some examples. ...
One of the original aspects of the approach is to relate the compositional nature of pNets with the notion of bisimulation; this is exemplified by studying the properties of a flattening operator for pNets ...
We propose a behavioural semantics and a bisimulation theory, starting with a strong bisimulation relation for closed pNets. ...

Automated compositional Markov chain generation for a plain-old telephone system
2000
Science of Computer Programming
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of signiÿcant complexity and magnitude is a di cult task that is usually tackled using human intelligence and experience ...
Finally, we aggregate this model compositionally using appropriate stochastic extensions of (strong and weak) bisimulation. ...
For the purpose of compositional Markov chain generation, it is su cient to know that the full LOTOS speciÿcation has been extensively veriÿed, and that it can be mapped to a Basic LOTOS description (where ...

2020
Proceedings of the 2020 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation - PEPM 2020
In previous work, a notion of equivalence named FH-Bisimulation was defined for open automata, and proved to be a congruence for their composition. ...
Open Automata (OA) are symbolic and parameterized models for open concurrent systems. Here open means partially specified systems, that can be instantiated or assembled to build bigger systems. ...
