Mixed Nondeterministic-Probabilistic Interfaces

Logic in Computer Science 2020-11-19 v1

Abstract

Interface theories are powerful frameworks supporting incremental and compositional design of systems through refinements and constructs for conjunction, and parallel composition. In this report we present a first Interface Theor -- |Modal Mixed Interfaces -- for systems exhibiting both non-determinism and randomness in their behaviour. The associated component model -- Mixed Markov Decision Processes -- is also novel and subsumes both ordinary Markov Decision Processes and Probabilistic Automata.
