In process algebras such as ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes), parallel processes are considered to be interleaved in an arbitrary way. In the case of multi-threading as found in contemporary programming languages, parallel processes…
In a previous paper, a process algebra based on ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes) was proposed in which processes involving data can be handled by means of features originating from imperative programming. In this paper, an extension…
In the case of multi-threading as found in contemporary programming languages, parallel processes are interleaved according to what is known as a process-scheduling policy in the field of operating systems. In a previous paper, we extend…
Probabilistic programming is related to a compositional approach to stochastic modeling by switching from discrete to continuous time dynamics. In continuous time, an operator-algebra semantics is available in which processes proceeding in…
Studies of issues related to computability and computational complexity involve the use of a model of computation. Pivotal to such a model are the computational processes considered. Processes of this kind can be described using an…
We add probabilistic features to basic thread algebra and its extensions with thread-service interaction and strategic interleaving. Here, threads represent the behaviours produced by instruction sequences under execution and services…
Process algebra ACP based on the interleaving semantics can not be reversed. We design a reversible version of APTC called RAPTC. It has algebraic laws of reversible choice, sequence, parallelism, communication, silent step and abstraction,…
On the one hand, classical terminological knowledge representation excludes the possibility of handling uncertain concept descriptions involving, e.g., "usually true" concept properties, generalized quantifiers, or exceptions. On the other…
Automated planning is a major topic of research in artificial intelligence, and enjoys a long and distinguished history. The classical paradigm assumes a distinguished initial state, comprised of a set of facts, and is defined over a set of…
Probabilistic game structures combine both nondeterminism and stochasticity, where players repeatedly take actions simultaneously to move to the next state of the concurrent game. Probabilistic alternating simulation is an important tool to…
This paper introduces an imperative process algebra based on ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes). Like other imperative process algebras, this process algebra deals with processes of the kind that arises from the execution of…
This paper concerns the relation between imperative process algebra and rely/guarantee logic. An imperative process algebra is complemented by a rely/guarantee logic that can be used to reason about how data change in the course of a…
In a distributed game we imagine a team Player engaging a team Opponent in a distributed fashion. Such games and their strategies have been formalised in concurrent games based on event structures. However there are limitations in founding…
This paper concerns the relation between process algebra and Hoare logic. We investigate the question whether and how a Hoare logic can be used for reasoning about how data change in the course of a process when reasoning equationally about…
Probabilistic behavior is omnipresent in computer controlled systems, in particular, so-called safety-critical hybrid systems, because of various reasons, like uncertain environments, or fundamental properties of nature. In this paper, we…
The growing complexity of real-world systems necessitates interdisciplinary solutions to confront myriad challenges in modeling, analysis, management, and control. To meet these demands, the parallel systems method rooted in Artificial…
Probabilistic Answer Set Programming under the credal semantics (PASP) extends Answer Set Programming with probabilistic facts that represent uncertain information. The probabilistic facts are discrete with Bernoulli distributions. However,…
In a previous paper, an ACP-style process algebra was proposed in which propositions are used as the visible part of the state of processes and as state conditions under which processes may proceed. This process algebra, called ACPps, is…
Using formal tools in computer science to describe games is an interesting problem. We give games, exactly two person games, an axiomatic foundation based on the process algebra ACP (Algebra of Communicating Process). A fresh operator…
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…
