Semantics of unbounded nondeterminism
[chapter]
1980
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
It is shown that the simple approach of taking the powerdomain of the flat cpo does not produce a correct semantics for programs in which nondeterminism is unbounded. ...
The powerdomain approach is then extended to computation paths, resulting is an essentially operational semantics for programs of unbounded nondeterminism. ...
This provides a richer structure, in which it is possible to give the correct semantics of unbounded nondeterminism. ...

Unbounded nondeterminism in CSP
[chapter]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We have two proofs of this result, one via a congruence theorem with operational semantics and one via a careful analysis of operators' behaviour on a subset of the model. ...
This allows us to give a denotational semantics for a version of CSP including general nondeterministic choice and infinite hiding. ...

The network, then, has a (least) fixpoint semantics; it is regarded as one of mathematical semantics of the network, since it can satisfy the recursive relations among the channels' denotations. ...
Thus, the denotational semantics of NCLP is well-defined even when it has unbounded nondeterminism. where The operational semantics of NCLP based on its fixpoint semantics was defined in Section 4. ...

A Fully Abstract Game Semantics for Countable Nondeterminism

The concept of fairness for a concurrent program means that the program must be able to exhibit an unbounded amount of nondeterminism without diverging. ...
Game semantics models of nondeterminism show that this is hard to implement; for example, Harmer and McCusker's model only admits infinite nondeterminism if there is also the possibility of divergence. ...
