We investigate conditional expressions in the setting of ACP, an algebraic theory about processes. We introduce ACP, an extension of ACP with conditional expressions in which the conditions are taken from a free Boolean algebra over a set of generators, and also its main models, called full splitting bisimilation models. We add two simple mechanisms for condition evaluation to ACP; and we show ...

The success of cloud computing leads to large, centralized collections of virtual machine (VM) images. The ability to retrospect (examine the historical state of) these images at a high semantic level can be valuable in many aspects of IT management such as debugging and troubleshooting, software quality control, legal establishment of data or code provenance, and cyber forensics such as malwar...
