The denotational Semantics of View-Centric Reasoning

Authors: Smith, Marc L., Hughes, Charles E., Burke, Kyle W.

Abstract:

Both Lawrence’s HCSP [1] and Smith, et al’s VCR [2] (an earlier versionappears in [3]) extend CSP [4] with representations of truly concurrent events. Previously,VCR was described using an operational semantics, while the semantics ofHCSP’s Acceptances model, like those of the predominant CSP models described byRoscoe [5] (e.g., Traces, Failures / Divergences), are denotational. We now present adenotational semantics for VCRand, in so doing, propose an extension toHCSP (andpossibly other existing CSP models) to support View-Centric Reasoning. This workbrings VCR a step closer to being drawn within Hoare and He’s Unifying Theories ofProgramming [6] for further comparisons.
