In this paper we study finite higher-dimensional automata (HDAs) from the logical point of view. Languages of HDAs are sets of finite bounded-width interval pomsets with interfaces (iiPoms<=k) closed under order extension. We prove that…

We report some further developments regarding the language theory of higher-dimensional automata (HDAs). Regular languages of HDAs are sets of finite interval partially ordered multisets (pomsets) with interfaces. We show a pumping lemma…

In this paper we explore languages of higher-dimensional automata (HDAs) from an algebraic and logical point of view. Such languages are sets of finite width-bounded interval pomsets with interfaces (ipomsets) closed under order extension.…

Higher-dimensional automata (HDA) are a model of concurrency that models simultaneous execution of events using higher dimensional cells. HDA recognize languages of pomsets, a generalization of finite words whose letters are partially…

Higher-dimensional automata (HDA) are a formalism to faithfully model the behaviour of concurrent systems. For ordinary automata, there is a correspondence between regular expressions, regular languages and finite automata, which provides a…

Higher dimensional automata (HDAs) provide a geometric model of true concurrency, yet their standard formulation encodes an artificial total order on events. This representational artifact causes a fundamental mismatch between the…

We introduce higher-dimensional automata for infinite interval ipomsets ($\omega$-HDAs). We define key concepts from different points of view, inspired from their finite counterparts. Then we explore languages recognized by $\omega$-HDAs…

We present a new language semantics for real-time concurrency. Its operational models are higher-dimensional timed automata (HDTAs), a generalization of both higher-dimensional automata and timed automata. In real-time concurrent systems,…

The theory of higher-dimensional automata (HDAs) has seen rapid progress in recent years, and first applications, notably to Petri net analysis, are starting to show. It has, however, emerged that HDAs themselves often are too strict a…

We establish a Myhill-Nerode type theorem for higher-dimensional automata (HDAs), stating that a language is regular if and only if it has finite prefix quotient. HDAs extend standard automata with additional structure, making it possible…

Higher-dimensional automata (HDAs) are models of non-interleaving concurrency for analyzing concurrent systems. There is a rich literature that deals with bisimulations for concurrent systems, and some of them have been extended to HDAs.…

We prove a Kleene theorem for higher-dimensional automata. It states that the languages they recognise are precisely the rational subsumption-closed sets of finite interval pomsets. The rational operations on these languages include a…

We construct labeling homomorphisms on the cubical homology of higher-dimensional automata and show that they are natural with respect to cubical dimaps and compatible with the tensor product of HDAs. We also indicate two possible…

Higher dimensional automata (HDA) are a model of concurrency that can express most of the traditional partial order models like Mazurkiewicz traces, pomsets, event structures, or Petri nets. Modal logics, interpreted over Kripke structures,…

Higher dimensional automata, i.e. labelled precubical sets, model concurrent systems. We introduce the homology graph of an HDA, which is a directed graph whose nodes are the homology classes of the HDA. We show that the homology graph is…

It is shown that a higher-dimensional automaton is hhp-bisimilar to the free symmetric HDA generated by it. Consequently, up to hereditary history-preserving bisimilarity, ordinary HDAs and symmetric HDAs are models of concurrency with the…

Higher-dimensional automata constitute a very expressive model for concurrent systems. In this paper, we discuss "topological abstraction" of higher-dimensional automata, i.e., the replacement of HDAs by smaller ones that can be considered…

In this paper we consider the class of lambda-nondeterministic linear automata as a model of the class of linear languages. As usual in other automata models, lambda-moves do not increase the acceptance power. The main contribution of this…

Hybrid automata are a natural framework for modeling and analyzing systems which exhibit a mixed discrete continuous behaviour. However, the standard operational semantics defined over such models implicitly assume perfect knowledge of the…

Given a transition system with an independence relation on the alphabet of labels, one can associate with it a usually very large symmetric higher-dimensional automaton. The purpose of this paper is to show that by choosing an acyclic…
