Weak Concurrent Kleene Algebra with Application to Algebraic Verification

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2013-01-31 v1

Abstract

We propose a generalisation of concurrent Kleene algebra \cite{Hoa09} that can take account of probabilistic effects in the presence of concurrency. The algebra is proved sound with respect to a model of automata modulo a variant of rooted η\eta-simulation equivalence. Applicability is demonstrated by algebraic treatments of two examples: algebraic may testing and Rabin's solution to the choice coordination problem.
