Reversible computation is an unconventional form of computing that extends the standard forward-only mode of computation with the ability to execute a sequence of operations in reverse at any point during computation. As such, in this…
Petri nets are a mathematical language for modeling and reasoning about distributed systems. In this paper we propose an approach to Petri nets for embedding reversibility, i.e., the ability of reversing an executed sequence of operations…
Reversible computation is an emerging computing paradigm that allows any sequence of operations to be executed in reverse order at any point during computation. Its appeal lies in its potential for lowpower computation and its relevance to…
Reversible computations constitute an unconventional form of computing where any sequence of performed operations can be undone by executing in reverse order at any point during a computation. It has been attracting increasing attention as…
Petri nets are a well-known model of concurrency and provide an ideal setting for the study of fundamental aspects in concurrent systems. Despite their simplicity, they still lack a satisfactory causally reversible semantics. We develop…
Event structures have emerged as a foundational model for concurrent computation, explaining computational processes by outlining the events and the relationships that dictate their execution. They play a pivotal role in the study of key…
In reversible computations one is interested in the development of mechanisms allowing to undo the effects of executed actions. The past research has been concerned mainly with reversing single actions. In this paper, we consider the…
Reversible CCS (RCCS) is a well-established, formal model for reversible communicating systems, which has been built on top of the classical Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS). In its original formulation, each CCS process is equipped…

Reversible computing is motivated by both pragmatic and foundational considerations arising from a variety of disciplines. We take a particular path through the development of reversible computation, emphasizing compositional reversible…
Causality serves as an abstract notion of time for concurrent systems. A computation is causal, or simply valid, if each observation of a computation event is preceded by the observation of its causes. The present work establishes that this…
In this work, we incorporate reversibility into structured communication-based programming, to allow parties of a session to automatically undo, in a rollback fashion, the effect of previously executed interactions. This permits taking…
Essentially, in a reversible programming language, for each forward computation from state $S$ to state $S'$, there exists a constructive method to go backwards from state $S'$ to state $S$. Besides its theoretical interest, reversible…
Reversibility is a key issue in the interface between computation and physics, and of growing importance as miniaturization progresses towards its physical limits. Most foundational work on reversible computing to date has focussed on…
Reversible simulation of irreversible algorithms is analyzed in the stylized form of a `reversible' pebble game. While such simulations incur little overhead in additional computation time, they use a large amount of additional memory space…
One-to-one reversible automata are introduced. Their applicability to a modelling of the quantum mechanical measurement process is discussed.
In a reversible language, any forward computation can be undone by a finite sequence of backward steps. Reversible computing has been studied in the context of different programming languages and formalisms, where it has been used for…
Reversing Petri nets (RPNs) have recently been proposed as a net-basedapproach to model causal and out-of-causal order reversibility. They are based on the notion of individual tokens that can be connected together via bonds. In this paper…
Causal nets (CNs) are Petri nets where causal dependencies are modelled via inhibitor arcs. They play the role of occurrence nets when representing the behaviour of a concurrent and distributed system, even when reversibility is considered.…
