Observational Equivalence for the Interaction Combinators and Internal Separation
نویسنده
چکیده
We define an observational equivalence for Lafont’s interaction combinators, which we prove to be the least discriminating non-trivial congruence on total nets (nets admitting a deadlock-free normal form) respecting reduction. More interestingly, this equivalence enjoys an internal separation property similar to that of Böhm’s Theorem for the λ-calculus.

Observational Equivalence and Full Abstraction in the Symmetric Interaction Combinators
The symmetric interaction combinators are an equally expressive variant of Lafont’s interaction combinators. They are a graph-rewriting model of deterministic computation. We define two notions of observational equivalence for them, analogous to normal form and head normal form equivalence in the lambda-calculus. Then, we prove a full abstraction result for each of the two equivalences. This is...
متن کاملEdifices and Full Abstraction for the Symmetric Interaction Combinators
The symmetric interaction combinators are a variant of Lafont’s interaction combinators. They are a graph-rewriting model of parallel deterministic computation. We define a notion analogous to that of head normal form in the λ-calculus, and make a semantical study of the corresponding observational equivalence. We associate with each net a compact metric space, called edifice, and prove that tw...
متن کاملOn the Recursive Enumerability of Fixed-Point Combinators
We show that the set of fixed-point combinators forms a recursivelyenumerable subset of a larger set of terms that is (A) not recursively enumerable, and (B) the terms of which are observationally equivalent to fixed-point combinators in any computable context.
متن کاملErratic Fudgets: A Semantic Theory for an Embedded Coordination Language
The powerful abstraction mechanisms of functional programming languages provide the means to develop domain-speciic programming languages within the language itself. Typically, this is realised by designing a set of combinators (higher-order reusable programs) for an application area, and by constructing individual applications by combining and coordinating individual combinators. This paper is...
متن کاملFull Abstraction for Set-Based Models of the Symmetric Interaction Combinators
The symmetric interaction combinators are a model of distributed and deterministic computation based on Lafont’s interaction nets, a special form of graph rewriting. The interest of the symmetric interaction combinators lies in their universality, that is, the fact that they may encode all other interaction net systems; for instance, several implementations of the lambda-calculus in the symmetr...
