A Category of Higher-Dimensional Automata
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how parallel composition of higher-dimensional automata (HDA) can be expressed categorically in the spirit of Winskel & Nielsen. Employing the notion of computation path introduced by van Glabbeek, we define a new notion of bisimulation of HDA using open maps. We derive a connection between computation paths and carrier sequences of dipaths and show that bisimilarity of HDA can be decided by the use of geometric techniques.

Homotopy Bisimilarity for Higher-Dimensional Automata
We introduce a new category of higher-dimensional automata in which the morphisms are functional homotopy simulations, i.e. functional simulations up to concurrency of independent events. For this, we use unfoldings of higher-dimensional automata into higher-dimensional trees. Using a notion of open maps in this category, we define homotopy bisimilarity. We show that homotopy bisimilarity is eq...
متن کاملTopological Deformation of Higher Dimensional Automata
A local po-space is a gluing of topological spaces which are equipped with a closed partial ordering representing the time flow. They are used as a formalization of higher dimensional automata (see for instance [6]) which model concurrent systems in computer science. It is known [11] that there are two distinct notions of deformation of higher dimensional automata, “spatial” and “temporal”, lea...
متن کاملHistory-Preserving Bisimilarity for Higher-Dimensional Automata via Open Maps
We show that history-preserving bisimilarity for higher-dimensional automata has a simple characterization directly in terms of higher-dimensional transitions. This implies that it is decidable for finite higher-dimensional automata. To arrive at our characterization, we apply the open-maps framework of Joyal, Nielsen and Winskel in the category of unfoldings of precubical sets.
متن کاملGENERAL FUZZY AUTOMATA BASED ON COMPLETE RESIDUATED LATTICE-VALUED
The present paper has been an attempt to investigate the general fuzzy automata on the basis of complete residuated lattice-valued ($L$-GFAs). The study has been chiefly inspired from the work by Mockor cite{15, 16, 17}. Regarding this, the categorical issue of $L$-GFAs has been studied in more details. The main issues addressed in this research include: (1) investigating the relationship betwe...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Transition Systems
We introduce the notion of higher dimensional transition systems as a model of concurrency providing an elementary, set-theoretic formalisation of the idea of higher dimensional transition. We show an embedding of the category of higher dimensional transition systems into that of higher dimensional automata which cuts down to an equivalence when we restrict to non-degenerate automata. Moreover,...
متن کاملTopological abstraction of higher-dimensional automata
Higher-dimensional automata constitute a very expressive model for concurrent systems. In this paper, we discuss " topological abstraction " of higher-dimensional automata, i.e., the replacement of HDAs by smaller ones that can be considered equivalent from both a computer scientific and a topo-logical point of view. By definition, topological abstraction preserves the ho-motopy type, the trace...
