3. 2G1516/2G1521 Formal Methods2004 Mads Dam IMIT, KTH 3 CCS Calculus of concurrent processes Main issues: How to specify concurrent processes in an abstract way? Which are the basic relations between concurrency and non- determinism? Which basic methods of construction (= operators) are needed? When do two processes behave differently? When do they behave the same? Rules of calculation: –Replacing equals for equals –Substitutivity Specification and modelling issues

4. 2G1516/2G1521 Formal Methods2004 Mads Dam IMIT, KTH 4 Process Equivalences Sameness of behaviour = equivalence of states Many process equivalences have been proposed (cf. Peled 8.5) For instance: q 1 » q 2 iff –q 1 and q 2 have the same paths, or –q 1 and q 2 may always refuse the same interactions, or –q 1 and q 2 pass the same tests, or –q 1 and q 2 satisfy the same temporal formulas, or –q 1 and q 2 have identical branching structure CCS: Focus on bisimulation equivalence

5. 2G1516/2G1521 Formal Methods2004 Mads Dam IMIT, KTH 5 Bisimulation Equivalence Intuition: q 1 » q 2 iff q 1 and q 2 have same branching structure Idea: Find relation which will relate two states with the same transition structure, and make sure the relation is preserved Example: aaa b b bc c c q1q1 q2q2
