We consider the property of unique parallel decomposition modulo branching and weak bisimilarity. First, we show that infinite behaviours may fail to have parallel decompositions at all. Then, we prove that totally normed behaviours always…
We study proof techniques for bisimilarity based on unique solution of equations. We draw inspiration from a result by Roscoe in the denotational setting of CSP and for failure semantics, essentially stating that an equation (or a system of…
We give an axiomatisation of strong bisimilarity on a small fragment of CCS that does not feature the sum operator. This axiomatisation is then used to derive congruence of strong bisimilarity in the finite pi-calculus in absence of sum. To…
A monolithic process is a single recursive equation with data parameters, which only uses non-determinism, action prefixing, and recursion. We present a technique that decomposes such a monolithic process into multiple processes where each…
We provide a characterisation of strong bisimilarity in a fragment of CCS that contains only prefix, parallel composition, synchronisation and a limited form of replication. The characterisation is not an axiomatisation, but is instead…
Topological self-stabilization describes the ability of a distributed system to let the nodes themselves establish a meaningful overlay network. Independent from the initial network topology, the system converges to the desired topology via…
We apply poset cocalculus, a functor calculus framework for functors out of a poset, to study the problem of decomposing multipersistence modules into simpler components. We both prove new results in this topic and offer a new perspective…
The concurrent refinement algebra has been developed to support rely/guarantee reasoning about concurrent programs. The algebra supports atomic commands and defines parallel composition as a synchronous operation, as in Milner's SCCS. In…
In this paper we introduce a novel notion of probabilistic bisimulation for quantum processes and prove that it is congruent with respect to various process algebra combinators including parallel composition even when both classical and…
The concept of process is ubiquitous in science, engineering and everyday life. Category theory, and monoidal categories in particular, provide an abstract framework for modelling processes of many kinds. In this paper, we concentrate on…
We make a mixture of Milner's $\pi$-calculus and our previous work on truly concurrent process algebra, which is called $\pi_{tc}$. We introduce syntax and semantics of $\pi_{tc}$, its properties based on strongly truly concurrent…
This paper proposes a geometric solution to the problem of prime decomposability of concurrent processes first explored by R. Milner and F. Moller in [MM93]. Concurrent programs are given a geometric semantics using cubical areas, for which…
Reactive Turing machines extend classical Turing machines with a facility to model observable interactive behaviour. We call a behaviour (finitely) executable if, and only if, it is equivalent to the behaviour of a (finite) reactive Turing…
We assess the descriptive complexity of *bisimilarity* or "equality of behavior" on a family of Markov decision processes over uncountable standard Borel spaces, namely *nondeterministic labelled Markov processes* (NLMP). We show that…
We study the correspondence between a concurrent lambda-calculus in administrative, continuation passing style and a pi-calculus and we derive a termination result for the latter.
The well-known process algebras, such as CCS, ACP and $\pi$-calculus, capture the interleaving concurrency based on bisimilarity semantics. We did some work on truly concurrent process algebras, such as CTC, APTC and $\pi_{tc}$, capture the…
Applied process calculi include advanced programming constructs such as type systems, communication with pattern matching, encryption primitives, concurrent constraints, nondeterminism, process creation, and dynamic connection topologies.…
Psi-calculi is a parametric framework for process calculi similar to popular pi-calculus extensions such as the explicit fusion calculus, the applied pi-calculus and the spi calculus. Mechanised proofs of standard algebraic and congruence…
We study which standard operators of probabilistic process calculi allow for compositional reasoning with respect to bisimulation metric semantics. We argue that uniform continuity (generalizing the earlier proposed property of…
We provide a multilevel approach for analysing performances of parallel algorithms. The main outcome of such approach is that the algorithm is described by using a set of operators which are related to each other according to the problem…
