Numerous formalisms and dedicated algorithms have been designed in the last decades to model and solve decision making problems. Some formalisms, such as constraint networks, can ...
We study relations on trees defined by first-order constraints over a vocabulary that includes the tree extension relation Ì Ì ¼, holding if and only if every branch of Ì ex...
We give an explicit coinduction principle for recursively-defined stochastic processes. The principle applies to any closed property, not just equality, and works even when soluti...
We provide translations between process algebra and systems of chemical reactions. We show that the translations preserve discrete-state (stochastic) and continuous-state (concent...
This paper discusses the applicability of a process algebra, the -calculus, as a formal foundation for Business Process Management (BPM). We therefore investigate the -calculus fro...
