相关论文: Full abstraction for fair testing in CCS
In previous work with Pous, we defined a semantics for CCS which may both be viewed as an innocent form of presheaf semantics and as a concurrent form of game semantics. We define in this setting an analogue of fair testing equivalence,…
Seeking a general framework for reasoning about and comparing programming languages, we derive a new view of Milner's CCS. We construct a category E of 'plays', and a subcategory V of 'views'. We argue that presheaves on V adequately…
Seeking a general framework for reasoning about and comparing programming languages, we derive a new view of Milner's CCS. We construct a category E of plays, and a subcategory V of views. We argue that presheaves on V adequately represent…
The full abstraction result for PCF using game semantics requires one to identify all innocent strategies that are innocently indistinguishable. This involves a quantification over all innocent tests, cf. quantification over all innocent…
Axioms are presented which encapsulate the properties satisfied by categories of games which form the basis of results on full abstraction for PCF and other programming languages, and on full completeness for various logics and type…
Following previous work on CCS, we propose a compositional model for the $\pi$-calculus in which processes are interpreted as sheaves on certain simple sites. Such sheaves are a concurrent form of innocent strategies, in the sense of…
We define a semantics for Milner's pi-calculus, with three main novelties. First, it provides a fully-abstract model for fair testing equivalence, whereas previous semantics covered variants of bisimilarity and the may and must testing…
We present the first fully abstract normal form bisimulation for call-by-value PCF (PCF$_{\textsf{v}}$). Our model is based on a labelled transition system (LTS) that combines elements from applicative bisimulation, environmental…
In this paper we investigate fair computations in the pi-calculus. Following Costa and Stirling's approach for CCS-like languages, we consider a method to label process actions in order to filter out unfair computations. We contrast the…
We present a probabilistic version of PCF, a well-known simply typed universal functional language. The type hierarchy is based on a single ground type of natural numbers. Even if the language is globally call-by-name, we allow a…
Game-theoretic characterizations of process equivalences traditionally form a central topic in concurrency; for example, most equivalences on the classical linear-time / branching-time spectrum come with such characterizations. Recent work…
This is an introduction to Game Semantics based on some lecture notes given at the CLiCS II summer school in Cambridge in 1995. We will focus on the recent (1994) work on Game semantics, which has led to some striking advances in the Full…
We consider a hierarchy of four typed call-by-value languages with either higher-order or ground-type references and with either callcc or no control operator.Our first result is a fully abstract trace model for the most expressive setting,…
Geuvers and Jacobs (LMCS 2021) formulated the notion of apartness relation on state-based systems modelled as coalgebras. In this context apartness is formally dual to bisimilarity, and gives an explicit proof system for showing that…
Game semantics is a rich and successful class of denotational models for programming languages. Most game models feature a rather intuitive setup, yet surprisingly difficult proofs of such basic results as associativity of composition of…
We introduce operational semantics into games. And based on the operational semantics, we establish a full algebra of games, including basic algebra of games, algebra of concurrent games, recursion and abstraction. The algebra can be used…
Based on the work on the algebraic theory of actors and game semantics for asynchronous $\pi$ calculus, we give the full abstraction proof of game semantics for actors.
Game semantics has been used with considerable success in formulating fully abstract semantics for languages with higher-order procedures and a wide range of computational effects. Recently, nominal games have been proposed for modelling…
Game semantics is a trace-like denotational semantics for programming languages where the notion of legal observable behaviour of a term is defined combinatorially, by means of rules of a game between the term (the "Proponent") and its…
In the process algebra community it is sometimes suggested that, on some level of abstraction, any distributed system can be modelled in standard process-algebraic specification formalisms like CCS. This sentiment is strengthened by results…
