Observing Processes

Authors: Lawrence, Adrian E.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the sorts of observations of processes that are appropriate to capture priority. The standard denotational semantics for CSP are based around observations of traces and refusals. Choosing to record a little more detail allows extensions of CSP which describe some very general processes including those that include priority. A minimal set of observations yields a language and semantics remarkably close to the standard Failures-Divergences model of CSP which is described in a companion paper. A slightly richer set of observations yields a somewhat less abstract language.
