Transition Systems and Behavioral Equivalences

  • Chapter
Introduction to Concurrency Theory

Abstract

Transition systems are introduced as a suitable semantic model of reactive systems. Some notions of behavioral equivalence are discussed, such as isomorphism equivalence, trace equivalence, simulation equivalence and bisimulation equivalence. Internal, unobservable actions are also considered and many behavioral equivalences are suitably adapted for this case.
