A Formalization of Unique Solutions of Equations in Process Algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
In this thesis, a comprehensive formalization of Milner’s Calculus of Communicating Systems (also known as CCS) has been done in HOL theorem prover (HOL4), based on an old work in HOL88. This includes all classical properties of strong/weak bisimulation equivalences and observation congruence, a theory of congruence for CCS, various versions of “bisimulation up to” techniques, and several deep theorems, namely the “coarsest congruence contained in ≈”, and three versions of the “unique solution of equations” theorem in Milner’s book. This work is further extended to support recent developments in Concurrency Theory, namely the “contraction” relation and the related “unique solutions of contractions” theorem found by Prof. Davide Sangiorgi, University of Bologna. As a result, a rather complete theory of “contraction” (and a similar relation called “expansion”) for CCS is also formalized in this thesis. Further more, a new variant of contraction called “observational contraction” was found by the author during this work, based on existing contraction relation. It’s formally proved that, this new relation is preserved by direct sums of CCS processes, and has a more elegant form of the “unique solutions of contractions” theorem without any restriction on the CCS grammar. The contribution of this thesis project is at least threefold: First, it can be seen as a formal verification of the core results in Prof. Sangiorgi’s paper, and it provides all details for the informal proof sketches given in the paper. Second, a large piece of old proof scripts from the time of Hol88 (1990s) has been ported to HOL4 and made available to all its users. Third, it’s a proof engineering research by itself on the correct formalization of process algebra, because the work has made extensive uses of some new features (e.g. coinductive relation) provided in recent versions of HOL4 (Kananaskis-11 and later). The uses of HOL4’s rich theory libraries is also a highlight of this project, and it has successfully minimized the development efforts in this work. As a result, this project serves as a sample application of HOL4, which seems a natural choice for the formalization of process algebra. For the author himself, after this thesis project he has become a skilled user of interactive theorem proving techniques, fully prepared at the level of formal methods in his future research activities in Computer Science.
