Probabilistic Transition System Specification: Congruence and Full Abstraction of Bisimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a format for the specification of probabilistic transition systems that guarantees that bisimulation equivalence is a congruence for any operator defined in this format. In this sense, the format is somehow comparable to the ntyft/ntyxt format in a non-probabilistic setting. We also study the modular construction of probabilistic transition systems specifications and prove that some standard conservative extension theorems also hold in our setting. Finally, we show that the trace congruence for image-finite processes induced by our format is precisely bisimulation on probabilistic systems.

Rooted branching bisimulation as a congruence for probabilistic transition systems
We propose a probabilistic transition system specification format, referred to as probabilistic RBB safe, for which rooted branching bisimulation is a congruence. The congruence theorem is based on the approach of Fokkink for the qualitative case. For this to work, the theory of transition system specifications in the setting of labeled transition systems needs to be extended to deal with proba...
متن کاملStructured Operational Semantics and Bisimulation as a Congruence
In this paper the question is considered in which cases a transition system specification in Plotkin style has 'good' properties and deserves the predicate 'structured'. The discussion takes place in a setting of labelled transition systems. The states of the transition systems are terms generated by a single sorted signature and the transitions between states are defined by conditional rules. ...
متن کاملCompositionality of Approximate Bisimulation for Probabilistic Systems
Probabilistic transition system specifications using the rule format ntμfθ/ntμxθ provide structural operational semantics for Segala-type systems and guarantee that probabilistic bisimilarity is a congruence. Probabilistic bisimilarity is for many applications too sensitive to the exact probabilities of transitions. Approximate bisimulation provides a robust semantics that is stable with respec...
متن کاملNotes on Generative Probabilistic Bisimulation
In this notes we consider the model of Generative Probabilistic Transition Systems, and Baier and Hermanns’ notion of weak bisimulation defined over them. We prove that, if we consider any process algebra giving rise to a Probabilistic Transition System satisfying the condition of regularity and offering prefixing, interleaving, and guarded recursion, then the coarsest congruence that is contai...
متن کاملProbabilistic Metric Semantics for a Simple Language with Recursion
We consider a simple divergence-free language RP for reactive processes which includes prefixing, deterministic choice, actionguarded probabilistic choice, synchronous parallel and recursion. We show that the probabilistic bisimulation of Larsen & Skou is a congruence for this language. Following the methodology introduced by de Bakker & Zucker we give denotational semantics to this language by...
