Branching vs. Linear Time: Semantical Perspective

pdf-format:
4.pdf (0.2 MB)

Abstract

The discussion of the relative merits of linear- versus
branching-time frameworks goes back to the early 1980s.
We revisit here this issue from a fresh perspective and postulate three
principles that we view as fundamental to any discussion of process
equivalence. We show that our principles yield a unique notion of
process equivalence, which is trace based, rather than tree based.
