Metric Denotational Semantics for PEPA

$C$-class and $F(psi,varphi)$-contractions on $M$-metric spaces

Partial metric spaces were introduced by Matthews in 1994 as a part of the study of denotational semantics of data flow networks. In 2014 Asadi and {it et al.} [New Extension of $p$-Metric Spaces with Some fixed point Results on $M$-metric paces, J. Ineq. Appl. 2014 (2014): 18] extend the Partial metric spaces to $M$-metric spaces. In this work, we introduce the class of $F(psi,varphi)$-contrac...

Metric Semantics for Second Order Communication

An operational and a denotational semantics are presented for a simple imperative language. The main feature of the language is second order communication: sending and receiving of statements rather than values. The operational semantics is based on a transition system. A complete 1-bounded ultramet-ric space is used in the denotational semantics. In establishing the connection between the two ...

Metric Semantics for True Concurrent Real Time

This paper investigates the use of a complete metric space framework for providing denotational semantics to a real-time process algebra. The study is carried out in a non-interleaving setting and is based on a timed extension of Langerak's bundle event structures, a variant of Winskel's event structures. The distance function of the metric is based on the amount of time to which event structur...

Metric Characterizations of Contextual Logic Programs

The aim of this paper is twofold: to characterize contextual logic programs by means of metric semantics and to argue the usefulness of metric characterizations for formally reasoning about program properties. A new denotational semantics of contextual logic programs is proposed. It is deened compositionally, without any help of any declarative paradigm and of any transition system. Following t...
