- Course objectives
- The goal is to acquire basic skills that are used for formal specification and analysis of communicating systems, including the theoretical background.
By the end of the course the students should be able: to develop simple specifications and implementations of communicating systems in CCS, to check formally their equivalence and to understand various kinds of process equivalences and their limitations. - Syllabus
- Introduction, overview of models for concurrent systems. Modelling communication, examples of communicating systems.
- Language of CCS: synchronization, actions and transitions, internal communication, semantics of CCS.
- CCS with value passing and its translation into pure CCS.
- Equational laws and their applications: classification of combinators, expansion theorem, dynamic and static laws.
- Bisimulation and equivalence: Strong bisimulation, weak bisimulation, weak congruence, basic properties, solving equations, other equivalences, finite state processes.
- Temporal properties of processes.
